Installation  
SIRIUS suggests professional installation of this product in your vehicle. Professional instal-  
lation provides an experienced technician to install this product in your vehicle, advice for  
selecting a suitable mounting location, installation of the antenna, and routing all the neces-  
sary wires and cables. An installer will have the necessary audio connection accessories to  
provide optimal audio output of the SIRIUS radio directly to your vehicle’s audio system. Ask  
your SIRIUS retailer if they provide professional installation services, or can recommend a  
professional installation service.  
Installing the Vehicle Kit  
When installing the vehicle dock, choose a location in your vehicle where the radio will not  
block your vision, interfere with the vehicle controls, or obstruct the air bag. The location  
should be easily accessible and provide good visibility of the display, and should not be lo-  
cated where it will be in direct sunlight which will affect the visibility of the display screen. The  
right side of the vehicle dock which has the Lock button should also not be obstructed.  
The mounting accessories necessary to install the vehicle dock in a vehicle are provided.  
Figure 4 shows two examples of the Stiletto 2 mounted in a vehicle: A is the console mount  
method using the adhesive mount, and B is the vent mount method.

Depending upon the mounting method you select, the mount should be assembled as  
described in one of the following two sections. In choosing a mounting location, be sure that  
position chosen will not block access to the Lock button on the right side of the vehicle dock.  
Console mount method (a)  
To assemble and mount the vehicle dock for the console mount method A as shown in Figure  
4:  
1. Attach the adhesive foot to the vehicle dock using the provided screws. (Figure 5)  
2. Before adhering the mount to the console, be sure to select your mounting position care-  
fully because once the mount has been adhered to a surface, it will not be possible to  
remove it and adhere it again.  
3. Clean the selected mounting surface area in the vehicle with the alcohol swab.  
4. Unscrew the adhesive foot from the mounting bracket. Peel the protective material off  
the adhesive on the foot and press the foot firmly against the vehicle surface.  
5. The adhesive mount should then be allowed to adhere for a minimum of 2-4 hours before  
use. Best adhesion occurs after 24 hours. When the adhesive foot has achieved suf-  
ficient adhesion, reattach the vehicle dock to the foot.

Vent mount method (b)  
To assemble and mount the vehicle dock for the vent mount method B as shown in Figure 4:  
1. Assemble the vent mount clip as shown in Figure 6. Note that the lower arm may be at-  
tached in two different positions. You should assemble the vent clip in the configuration  
that works best in your particular vehicle. Figure 6 illustrates both possible configura-  
tions of the vent clip.  
2. Attach the vent clip to the vehicle dock using the provided screws. (Figure 7)  
3. Slide the vent clip portion of the mount into a vent in your vehicle, insuring that one of  
the vent louvers slides between the upper and lower portions of the two clip arms, and  
hooks the rear of the louver.

Installing the Antenna  
The installation of the magnetic antenna consists of two installation steps:  
• Mounting the magnetic antenna and cover/tail on the vehicle  
• Routing the antenna cable through the vehicle to the SIRIUS radio or vehicle dock  
The following sections provide instructions for both installation steps.  
antenna mountIng  
The SIRIUS Magnetic Mount Vehicle Antenna has a strong magnetic mount designed to hold  
the antenna in place during normal driving conditions (highway/city). This also allows for easy  
removal for transferring the antenna to other vehicles.  
Figure 8 shows the optimal mounting location for the antenna on several types of vehicles.  
These mounting positions should be observed when installing the antenna:  
• Sedan/Coupe/SUV/mini-Van: Install the antenna at the rear center of the roof, near the  
rear window.  
• Pickup Truck: Install the antenna at the front center of the roof, near the windshield.  
• Convertible: Install the antenna at the front center of the trunk lid, near the rear window.  
The SIRIUS antenna needs to have an unobstructed area of 3 inches by 3 inches around  
it. It is important to mount the antenna where no obstructions will block the antenna from  
receiving the SIRIUS signal. Objects which can obstruct the antenna could be a roof rack, a  
sunroof, a roof mounted cargo container, another antenna, etc. If your vehicle has a potential  
obstruction, be sure that the SIRIUS antenna is mounted at least 3 inches away from it (but no  
closer than 3 inches from the roof edge, or trunk lid in the case of a convertible).

Follow this procedure to mount the antenna:  
1. Select an appropriate mounting position for your type of vehicle that has an unobstruct-  
ed area of 3 inches by 3 inches around the antenna.  
2. Attach the rubber cover/tail to the antenna, as shown in Figure 9, and press the antenna  
cable into the rubber cover/tail. The rubber cover/tail will help to position the antenna  
the correct distance from the edge of the roof or trunk lid.  
3. Clean the surface area of the vehicle where you will be installing the antenna with the  
alcohol prep pad.  
4. Peel the protective material from the adhesive strips (Figure 9) and press the rubber  
cover/tail firmly into place on the vehicle (Figure 10).

Follow these detailed cable installation instructions:  
1. Feed the cable from the antenna underneath the rubber molding around the rear window.  
Use a plastic putty knife or similar object to lift the rubber molding around the rear  
window and tuck the antenna cable underneath the molding. Route the antenna cable  
around and down the window to the lowest point. If your rear window does not have rub-  
ber molding, SIRIUS recommends consulting with a professional installer.  
2. Route the antenna cable out of the window molding and into the rubber weather strip-  
ping around the trunk opening. Lift the weather stripping from the opening and tuck the  
cable inside it, then replace the weather stripping. To avoid sharp bends in the cable,  
run the cable inside of the weather stripping for a few inches, then remove the cable  
from the weather stripping inside of the trunk. Keep the cable away from hinges, gears,  
etc., that could damage it.  
3. Route the cable out from the rubber weather stripping and along the trunk wall. Continue  
routing the cable into the cabin through a conduit or along an existing wiring harness.  
4. Route the cable through the main cabin area under the interior trim, towards the front  
of the vehicle. Use the plastic putty knife to lift the plastic trim just enough to tuck the  
cable under underneath. Avoid side airbag locations on back pillars and above the  
doors. (Airbag locations are marked with “SRS” logos.) Be careful not to crimp or cut  
the cable.  
5. Bring the cable out from the trim near the firewall and route it under the carpet toward  
the dashboard or console. Coil any excess cable in a hidden location, such as under the  
carpet, keeping it away from any vehicle pedals or controls. Secure the excess cable  
with wire ties.  
6. Bring the end of the cable out at the SIRIUS radio location. Leave yourself enough cable  
so you can easily connect it to the antenna connector of the SIRIUS radio or vehicle  
dock.

Maximizing Audio Quality From Your Stiletto 2 Radio  
There are two primary ways to connect your SIRIUS radio to your vehicle radio: Wireless  
Connection or Direct Connection. The following sections will help you obtain the best perfor-  
mance. For the latest information go to http://www.sirius.com/vehicleinstallation.  
WIReless ConneCtIon  
Your SIRIUS radio contains an FM transmitter. The FM transmitter sends the audio from your  
SIRIUS radio to your vehicle radio. (Figure 17)

Included with your SIRIUS radio is an FM Extender Cable to maximize the audio quality of  
your SIRIUS radio when using a wireless audio connection. Should the wireless audio quality  
without the FM Extender Cable be not acceptable, you can try using the FM Extender Cable  
(or opt for a direct connection).  
Wireless audio Connection Without the fm extender Cable  
To tune your vehicle’s FM radio and your SIRIUS radio to the same FM channel (Figure 17):  
1. Turn off your Stiletto 2 and tune through the FM channels on your vehicle’s FM radio  
[ Installation ]  
ꢀ2  
to locate an FM channel that is not broadcasting in your area. If you use an FM channel  
that is being used by a local broadcaster, it will interfere with the performance of your  
SIRIUS radio. Once you have located an FM channel that is not broadcasting in your  
area, save it as a preset on your vehicle radio. This will become your SIRIUS preset.  
fm  
2. Power the Stiletto 2 on. When it is completely powered up, press the  
FM button on  
the left side of the vehicle dock or press the FM button on the remote control.  
3. Use the Media Dial or the buttons on the remote control to select the same FM  
channel. (Figure 18) Press and hold a preset number (0—9) on the vehicle dock in which  
you want to store the selected FM channel as a preset. (Figure 19) Press the Select  
button to exit and transmit on the selected FM channel. The Stiletto 2 will transmit on the  
selected FM channel.

note: The FM transmitter in your SIRIUS radio is automatically set to FM channel 88.1.  
This may not be the best channel in your area.  
Tip: If you regularly travel between cities with different active FM channels, you may  
need to find channels that are not broadcasting in each city. The Stiletto 2 can store  
multiple FM transmit channels as presets, so you can easily switch to the best FM  
channel for each city. You will also want to set the FM channels that are not broadcast-  
ing in each city as presets on your vehicle radio.  
You should now hear the audio from your SIRIUS radio over your vehicle’s FM radio. If the  
audio quality is not satisfactory, you should install the FM Extender Cable as described in the  
following section (or use a direct connection as described on page 48).  
[ Installation ]  
ꢀꢀ  
Wireless audio Connection Using the fm extender Cable  
The FM Extender Antenna brings the FM signal transmitted from your SIRIUS radio into close  
proximity with your vehicle’s FM antenna to provide a strong FM signal for good reception.  
(Figure 17) If you are using a FM wireless connection to transmit the audio from your SIRIUS  
radio to your vehicle’s FM radio, using the FEA will provide an stronger FM signal with better  
audio quality from your SIRIUS radio.  
IMPORTANT NOTE: The FM Extender Antenna is placed inside your vehicle in close  
proximity to the vehicle’s FM antenna. In order for it to provide a strong FM signal for good  
reception, it MUST be mounted in the correct location and orientation, as described in this  
manual. The correct mounting location and orientation is determined by the type and location  
of the vehicle’s FM antenna.  
Step 1: Determine the type and location of your vehicle’s  
FM antenna  
Being able to determine the type and location of your vehicle’s FM antenna is the key to prop-  
erly installing the FEA in your vehicle. The type and location of the FM antenna in your vehicle  
should be one of the following:  
A. Whip/aerial mounted on the front fender or hood: A fixed or retractable aerial antenna  
located on the front fender or hood of the vehicle.  
B. Whip/aerial mounted in the A-pillar of car frame: A fixed or retractable aerial antenna  
located in the A-pillar of the vehicle’s frame.  
A.  
B.  
[ Installation ]  
ꢀꢁ  
C. In-glass, in the rear windshield: Several strands of wires in the rear windshield glass, usu-  
ally near the top of the window. There is a difference between the rear window defroster wires  
found in many vehicles and the FM antenna. The rear window defroster wires have uniform spac-  
ing and all wires run from edge to edge in the glass while the FM antenna wires have uneven  
spacing, breaks in the wires, and some of the wires do not run from edge to edge in the glass.  
D. Whip/aerial mounted on rear part of roof: A whip or aerial antenna mounted on the rear part of  
the roof (often just above the back windshield glass). The whip or aerial should be 7 inches or longer.  
E. Whip/aerial mounted on the rear fender or trunk: A fixed or retractable whip or aerial  
antenna located on the rear fender or trunk of the vehicle.  
F. Whip/aerial mounted on front part of roof: A whip or aerial antenna mounted on the front part of  
the roof (often just above the front windshield glass). The whip or aerial should be 7 inches or longer.  
G. In-glass, in the front windshield: One or more strands of wire in the front windshield, usu-  
ally near the top of the windshield.  
H. In-glass, in a rear side window: Several strands of wires in a rear side window, especially  
in some SUV, mini-vans and station wagons.

Step 5: Find an FM channel which is not broadcasting in  
your area  
Turn off your SIRIUS radio. Turn on your vehicle’s FM radio and tune through the FM channels  
on your vehicle’s radio to locate an FM channel that is not broadcasting in your area. (Figure  
27) You should only hear static or silence on this channel. Use the tune function of your radio  
rather than the scan function to search for a channel. If you’re not sure which FM channels are  
and search for a suggested FM channel based on your zip code.  
OR  
figure 27  
If you use an FM channel that is being used by a local broadcaster, it will interfere with the per-  
formance of your SIRIUS radio. Once you have located an FM channel that is not broadcasting  
[ Installation ]  
ꢁ2  
in your area, save it as a preset on your vehicle radio. This will become your SIRIUS preset.  
Step 6: Tune your SIRIUS radio to the same FM channel  
Turn on your SIRIUS radio. For plug and play radios, press and hold the Menu button until  
the FM Frequency screen is displayed. For Stiletto radios, select Settings then Dock then  
FM Transmit. For S50 radios, select Settings then Device Settings then FM Frequencies.  
Set the channel number on your SIRIUS radio to match the SIRIUS preset on your vehicle’s  
radio. (Figure 28) You should now hear the audio from your SIRIUS radio over your vehicle’s  
FM radio. (Refer to the user guide which accompanied your SIRIUS radio for more detailed  
instructions on how to set the FM frequency for your radio.)

may not be the best channel in your area. If you’re not sure which FM channels are not  
search for a suggested FM channel based on your zip code.  
Step 7: Optimize the placement of the FEA  
1. Mute the volume of your SIRIUS radio. The easiest way to do this is to use the MUTE  
[ Installation ]  
ꢁꢀ  
button on the remote control. For most SIRIUS radios you can also press the Menu but-  
ton and select Settings and then Audio Level and turn the volume down to zero. (Refer  
to the user guide which accompanied your SIRIUS radio for more detailed instructions.)  
Note, your SIRIUS radio is still on.  
2. Turn up the volume of your vehicle’s FM radio. If you hear static or interference adjust  
the position of the FEA until the static or interference is eliminated or minimized. (Figure  
291)  
figure 29  
3. 3.  
If the level of static or interference is still high, please select another FM channel  
by repeating Step 6.  
Step 8: Permanently install the FEA  
If you are mounting the FEA in the headliner of the vehicle, skip this step. When you are satis-  
fied with the mounting location, remove the suction cup mounts and peel the backing off the  
bead and arrow adhesive mounts. Clean the area where the FEA will be attached with the alcohol  
swab. Permanently adhere the FEA in the same position on the glass (or A-pillar), making certain  
the wire is taut and is as straight as possible. Use the cable guides if necessary to hold the  
cable (Figure 30)

Step 9: Route and hide the cable through the vehicle to  
your SIRIUS radio  
Hide most of the cable by properly routing the antenna cable to your SIRIUS radio. (Figure  
31) Use the cable guides to hold the cable in place until it reaches the inner trim or moulding  
at the edge of the window. Take advantage of any existing cable channel or wiring conduit  
and route the cable around the passenger compartment to the vehicle dock. Take care not  
pull the cable across sharp edges that could damage it, and keep it away from areas where it  
might entangle feet. Coil and secure any excess antenna cable in a location where it can be  
hidden and secured (such as under the carpet or floor mat). Make sure the FEA is plugged  
into the FM OUT connector of the radio or vehicle dock.

Tips for Identifying the fm antenna  
Correct identification of your vehicle’s FM antenna is a key to a successful installation. The  
preceding installation section already showed you the differing kinds of FM antennas found  
on vehicles, however, there are several types of antennas found on vehicles which you may  
at first believe to be the FM antenna but in reality they are not. Instead they may actually be  
GPS, OnStar®, cell phone, factory installed satellite radio antennas, or other type of antennas.  
Please be aware of the following when identifying your vehicle’s FM antenna:  
1. Puck type antennas and shark-fin type antennas are never the FM antenna. Figure 32  
shows several types of these antennas which should not be mistaken for an FM antenna.  
If you have located one of these types of antennas on your vehicle you can be certain  
that it’s not the FM antenna. Continue your search to find the actual FM antenna.  
figure 32  
[ Installation ]  
ꢁꢃ  
2. Greater confusion may arise with whip type antennas. Figure 33 shows some whip type  
antennas which can be found on a vehicle’s front or rear roof, or on the rear windshield.  
Some of these antennas could be the FM antenna and some are not the FM antenna.  
Antennas with a short 2-4 inch stubby whip or protrusion are not FM antennas, while anten-  
nas with a whip length of 7 inches or longer are likely to be the FM antenna. If your vehicle  
has a short stubby antenna, you should continue searching your vehicle’s FM antenna.  
figure 33  
If after searching your vehicle you’re still uncertain as to where your FM antenna is located in  
your vehicle then SIRIUS recommends professional installation of the FM Extender Antenna.  
Ask your SIRIUS retailer if they provide professional installation services, or can recommend a  
professional installer.  
If the FM antenna is not correctly identified, the installation of the FEA will result in poor perfor-  
mance and unsatisfactory results.  
[ Installation ]  
ꢁꢄ  
DIReCt ConneCtIons  
A direct connection provides better audio performance than a wireless connection and  
removes the possibility of interference from local FM broadcasters. There are several ways to  
directly connect your Stiletto 2 which are explained in the following sections.  
Tip: Depending on the model of radio in your vehicle and your level of comfort with in-car  
installations, a direct connection may require professional installation assistance. Ask your  
retailer or contact SIRIUS customer support for recommended installers in your area.  
direct Wired audio Connection  
If your vehicle radio offers an “AUX IN” or “LINE IN” connection, it is the best audio connec-  
tion available. If the “AUX IN” or “LINE IN” connector is located on the front of your vehicle  
radio, this is also the easiest connection. (Figure 34)  
1. Purchase an audio cable that matches the connection type of your vehicle radio and your  
SIRIUS radio at your local electronics retailer. Your SIRIUS radio requires a 1/8” stereo  
male connector. Your local electronics retailer can help you determine the proper con-  
nection for your vehicle radio.  
2. Plug one end of the cable into the LINE OUT jack on the vehicle dock. (Refer to Figure  
1 on page 9.) Plug the other end into your “AUX IN” or “LINE IN” jack on your vehicle  
radio.
