Please read, understand, and follow the instructions in this guide. Failure to do so could result in personal injury, death, and/or damage to your XM Satellite Radio receiver, accessories, and/or to your vehicle or property. Caution: Use your XM SureConnect accessory with only the enclosed compo-
nents and approved connectors. Do not modify wires or other connectors in any way; you could cause a malfunction, which could damage your receiver and will void your warranty. 3 Choosing the Proper XM SureConnect Installation To choose the proper XM SureConnect installation method, first you need to determine the location of your vehicles FM antenna, and plan how to properly route the XM SureConnect cables to your FM antenna location. The FM antenna type and location will determine which option you will need. The chart below and illustrations on page 5 will assist you in locating your vehicles FM antenna from one of seven most common locations. Note: XM SureConnect was not designed for use on retractable (automatic up and down) FM antennas and some FM antennas that are custom shapes that were designed to match the styling of the vehicle. If your vehicle has either of these types of FM antennas, you will not be able to use the XM SureConnect accessory. You will need to use the professional wired FM method of installation. For best audio performance, you will either install the XM SureConnect by clip-
ping directly to an external FM antenna (locations 1 through 4) or directly on an internal on-glass FM antenna (locations 5 through 7) using the window Contact Bracket included. You will either use... 4 1234FrontfenderRear fenderRoof top frontRoof top backLocated at top of windshieldLocated at top of rearwindowLocated on rear side glass(in some SUVs)567Option1Option2orExternalFMAntennaInternal On-Glass FM Antenna Installation Locations 5 1342567 Installation Setup Overview for both Options 1 and 2 TThhee ffoolllloowwiinngg sstteeppss wwiillll gguuiiddee yyoouu tthhrroouugghh tthhee iinnssttaallllaattiioonn ooff yyoouurr XXMM SSuurreeCCoonnnneecctt uussiinngg eeiitthheerr ooppttiioonn 11 oorr ooppttiioonn 22.. 1. Install your XM Radio in your vehicle as described in your XM Radio user and installation guides, but do not connect the XM antenna plug to the dock at this time. 2. Now that you have located your vehicles FM antenna, determine the best routing method to get the XM SureConnect output cable to the FM antenna. For eexxtteerrnnaall aanntteennnnaass (Figure 1b), the Coupling Clip needs to be routed outside the vehicle. For iinntteerrnnaall oonn--ggllaassss aanntteennnnaass (Figure 1c), all routing is inside the passenger compartment and the Contact Bracket is used. 3. To route the output cable with Coupling Clip to your vehicle FM antenna, follow the instructions on the next pages . There are separate instructions for external antenna vs the internal on-glass antenna. Follow the instruc-
tions that apply to your vehicles antenna type. NNoottee:: This guide assumes you have already installed your XM antenna per the instructions in your XM radio user guide. The positions of the XM antenna in the illustrations on page 9 are for example only. There is no need to change your XM antenna installation. 4. Connect the XM antenna to the XM SureConnect antenna input, located on the coupler module about 2 feet from the end of the input cable (see Figure 1a). Tuck any excess input cable and the coupler module behind the dash or in another hidden location for a professional looking installation. 5.

If you have an external or roof mount FM antenna, attach the Coupling Clip directly to the base of the antenna as illustrated in Figure 2. Cover the clip with the rubber boot provided to protect and secure the clip. Secure the cable inside the trunk or hood to avoid interference or accidental damage. Installing the Coupling Clip first will avoid having excess cable outside the vehicle. a. Snap the Antenna Coupling Clip into place. b. Slide the boot over the top of your antenna. c. Slide the boot down the antenna so it covers the clip. Figure 2 8 NNoottee:: You may want to use the optional cable wrap for a more secure solution. car antennarubberbootcoupling clip(a)(b)(c) External FM Antenna Cable Routing In the front, route the cable across the weather seal near the bottom of the door to reduce water leaks. Once inside the car, tuck the XM SureConnect output cable into the door jam up to the dash or under the carpet as shown in Figure 3. Figure 3 In the rear, always cross the weather seal at the lowest part of the trunk to reduce water leaks. Route the cable from the trunk into the vehicle through available wire channels. Next, route through the rear passenger compartment. Tuck the cable under the door jam trim or under the carpet to the XM Receiver as shown in Figure 4.

CCAAUUTTIIOONN:: Do not attach the contact bracket to the rear defogger elements. In some vehicles they look similar to the FM Antenna. You can distinguish the FM Antenna Elements from the Defogger Elements by several key features. See Figure 5. Figure 5 10 single contactdual contactopen endsverticalelementnon-uniformspacinguniform spacingFM AntennaRear Window(may be hidden)(may be hidden)DO NOT PLACE ON DEFOGGER Option 2 (continued) 1. The FM antenna is typically found on the top 6 to 8 inches of the rear window while the Defogger is located below. 2. The FM antenna has open ends (connected to nothing) and the Defogger does not. 3. The FM antenna will have a single contact point and the Defogger will have two, which are typically on opposite sides of the window. The contact points may be hidden behind interior liners or exterior glass tinting but the key is to locate where the elements extend beyond the window edge. The FM antenna will have only one location while the defogger can have two or more. 11 Internal OnGlass FM Antenna Contact Bracket Installation Step 1:
Install the Contact Bracket on the interior window surface over the antenna element using the adhesive pad provided and the following steps. It may be mounted either vertical or horizontal depending on the portion of the antenna element most easily accessed. Select a bracket position that allows room to attach the Coupling Clip and cleanly run cables without blocking the drivers view. Install the on-glass antenna Coupling Clip before routing the cable to avoid excess cable. See Figure 6. a. Clean the mounting location on the glass for the Contact Bracket with any household window cleaner that will remove grime. Be sure the surface is com-
pletely dry before proceeding. You may need to use your vehicles air conditioning and/or defogger to keep the cleaned surface dry during the installation for the adhesive to set properly. b. Remove the red liner from the adhesive pad and press the Contact Bracket firmly to the identified mounting location on the glass. You can also view the alignment through the glass from outside the vehicle. You will have only a limited amount of time to reposition the Contact Bracket before the adhesive cures. c. The Contact Bracket has alignment arrows on the side opposite the adhesive pads. These arrows indicate the contact strip location on the base of the bracket. Align the arrows with the on-glass antenna element to ensure direct contact between the strip and the element. Press and hold the Contact Bracket in place for 10 to 15 seconds. d. Once the Bracket is in place, attach the Coupling Clip to the bracket flange and route any excess cable behind liners for a professional look. 12 Contact Bracket and Coupling Clip Installation (continued) Clean this area. Must be dry. Figure 6 13 contact bracket witharrows for alignmentcontact stripadhesive padsantenna element in glassno bootrequired(a)(b)(c)(d) Internal OnGlass FM Antenna Cable Routing Step 2:
In the rear, route the XM SureConnect output cable from the antenna element, along the window edge, down to the win-
dow liner. From the rear passen-
ger compartment tuck the cable under the carpet or door jam trim until you reach the front dash area, ending at the XM Receiver. (See Figure 7.) Figure 7 In the front, route the XM SureConnect output cable from the antenna element, along the windshield edge, down to the window liner along the floor and up to the dash as shown in Figure 8. 14 Figure 8 NNoottee:: XM antenna cables are not illustrated. coupler clipwith contact bracketinternal on glass antennaXM car antennaXM receivercoupler moduleXM car antennaXM receivercoupler clipwith contact bracketinternal on glass antennacoupler module Additional Information NNoottee:: When routing the XM SureConnect cable use pre-existing wire channels whenever possible to avoid loose wires on the interior of the vehicle which are susceptible to damage and to maintain a professional looking installation. Route cable carefully by taking notice of how doors open and close, as well as how seats move when they are adjusted so you can be certain there is ample clearance provided for the cable. Avoid inadvertent damage that may be caused by kinking, crimping, twisting or chafing the cables. Secure and tie wrap the excess cable under your dash board, between the seat and the console, or on the floor under a seat or floor mat. Securing the excess cable will help to prevent it from interfering with the everyday use of your vehicle, improve the appearance of the installation, and avoid any undesirable accidental damage to the cables that might result in loss of satellite signal or XM SureConnect performance. Important Information:
- When attempting to remove the XM SureConnect from either method of installation, be sure to remove the boot first if applicable and pull the Coupling Clip away by lifting from the end where the cable enters the clip. Squeezing the Coupling Clip in the middle may pinch the contacts inside and make removing the clip more difficult.
- Once installed, if you experience interference problems with your AM reception, your vehicles electrical system may require you to unplug the power adapter when your XM Satellite Radio is not in use.
-
If you installed the XM SureConnect using Option 1, it is recommended that you use brushless or touchfree car washes or hand wash your vehicle to avoid damaging the XM SureConnect or your vehicle. Follow the infor-
mation provided by the vehicle manufacturer for instructions on removing the FM antenna. 15

You will first need to find an available FM channel, which is a channel that is not being used by an FM radio station in your area . When you tune your FM radio to an available channel, you should only hear static or silence not talk or music . Once you have found an available channel, you need to tune XpressRCis built-in transmitter to the same channel to receive XM sound through your vehicles radio . To find an available FM channel:
Manually tune through your local FM channels Manually tune through your local FM channels on your vehicles FM radio . Turn on your vehicles FM radio . Start at 88 .1 and use the Manual tune function on your vehicles FM radio to tune through each FM channel one-by-one (88 .1 followed by 88 .3 etc .) to locate channels that arent being used by a local FM radio station . Write down each FM channel that has only static or silence on it, until you reach 107 .9 . Once you have created your list of available FM channels, you will need to find the one that provides the best match for XpressRCi .
