Installation  
SIRIUS suggests that you have your Sportster SP5 professionally-installed in  
your vehicle. Professional installation provides an experienced technician to in-  
stall this product in your vehicle, advice for selecting  
a
suitable mounting loca-  
tion for the Vehicle Dock, installation of the antenna, and proper routing of all  
the necessary wires and cables. If the locations of your SIRIUS radio and your ve-  
hicle’s FM antenna make the performance of your SIRIUS radio’s built-in FM trans-  
mitter within your vehicle poor,  
a
professional installer will have the necessary  
accessories to install an optional FM Direct Adapter or audio cable to connect the audio  
output of the Vehicle Dock directly to your vehicle’s audio system. Ask your SIRIUS re-  
tailer if they provide professional installation services, or can recommend a professional  
installation service.  
Installing the Vehicle Dock  
When installing the vehicle dock in your vehicle, choose a location that 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 located where it will be in direct sunlight which will affect the visibility of the radio’s  
display screen.  
The mounting accessories necessary to install the vehicle dock in a vehicle are provided.  
Figure 1 shows two examples of the SIRIUS radio mounted in a vehicle: a is the suction  
cup mount method, and B is the vent mount method using the vent mount clip.  
note: The supplied suction cup mount and vent mount should work in most vehicles  
If your installation requires a different mounting option, check with a local electron-  
ics retailer for other compatible mounts that are available separately

Because adhesive is used in the installation of the Rubber Antenna Cover/Tail, we  
recommend that you install the antenna at or above room temperature (68° F). The  
adhesive on the Rubber Cover/Tail may not adhere properly to the vehicle roof at tem-  
peratures lower than this. Warmer temperatures will also make it easier to route of the  
antenna cable through the rubber molding around the windows and in other areas in the  
vehicle. Maximum adhesion usually occurs within 72 hours at room temperature, so you  
should avoid car washes as well as other contact with the antenna and Rubber Cover/  
Tail during this 72 hour period.  
Warning  
Be sure not to cut, damage, or puncture the external jacket of the antenna cable during  
the installation procedure. Damage to the antenna cable can degrade the SIRIUS signal  
or make it unavailable, and can also cause water to intrude via the cable into the antenna  
causing the antenna to fail.  
Do not lengthen or shorten the antenna cable by cutting it. Doing so will cause the  
antenna to not function properly.  
Installation  
Installing the magnetic antenna consists of two steps:  
• Mounting the magnetic antenna and Rubber Antenna Cover/Tail on the vehicle  
• Routing the antenna cable through the vehicle to the Vehicle Dock  
[ Installation ]

AntennA Mounting  
The SIRIUS Magnetic Mount Vehicle Antenna has a strong magnetic mount designed  
to hold it in place during normal driving conditions (highway/city). This also makes the  
antenna easy to remove for transferring it to other vehicles.  
Figure 9 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  
Pickup Truck  
SUV/Mini-Van  
Convertible  
figure 9  
• 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.  
[ Installation ]  
22  
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).  
note: Read the Do and Do Not installation tips beginning on page 32 for additional  
antenna installation information.  
Follow this procedure to mount the antenna:  
1. Select an appropriate mounting position for your type of vehicle that has an  
unobstructed area of 3 inches by 3 inches around the antenna.  
2. Attach the Rubber Cover/Tail to the antenna, as shown in Figure 10, 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.

4. Peel the protective material from the adhesive strips (see Figure 10, on page 23)  
and press the rubber Cover/Tail firmly into place on the vehicle.  
5. Double check that the location of the antenna and rubber cover/tail are correct, and  
continue to press firmly down on the Rubber Cover/Tail for another 30 seconds.  
At room temperature (68° F), maximum adhesion usually occurs within 72 hours.  
During this period, avoid car washes and other contact with the antenna and the  
Rubber Antenna Cover/Tail.  
CAble Routing  
After you have mounted the antenna you can route the antenna cable to the SIRIUS  
Vehicle Dock. Separate antenna cable routing procedures are provided for each type of  
vehicle: Sedan/Coupe, Pickup Truck, SUV/Mini-Van and Convertible.  
Note that additional breakout illustrations for each step of the antenna cable routing  
procedures can be found on the SIRIUS website at http://siriuscanada.ca. Click on the

Connecting Your SIRIUS Radio to Your Vehicle’s Audio  
System  
There are two ways to connect your SIRIUS Sportster SP5 to your vehicle’s audio system:  
Direct Connection or Wireless Connection. Which one will perform best in your vehicle  
depends on your vehicle’s audio system.  
For the latest information go to http://www.siriuscanada.ca/en/install/vehicle.aspx.  
Direct Wired Audio Connection  
If your vehicle’s audio system has an “Aux in” or “Line in” jack it is the best-quality audio  
connection you can use for your SIRIUS radio. (And if the Aux in or Line in connector is  
located somewhere on the front of your vehicle radio or elsewhere in the cabin, this is  
also the easiest way to connect your SIRIUS radio.)  
1. Purchase an audio cable that matches the connection type of your vehicle’s audio  
system and your SIRIUS Vehicle Dock at your local electronics retailer.

Direct FM Audio Connection  
If your vehicle’s audio system does not have an Aux In/Line In connection, a SIR-  
IUS FM Direct Adapter (sold separately) will provide the next best quality con-  
nection between your SIRIUS radio and your vehicle radio. You will listen to your  
SIRIUS radio through your car radio’s FM tuner, but the SIRIUS FM Direct Adapter  
connects your vehicle’s FM radio directly to your SIRIUS radio’s FM Out jack,  
eliminating the outside static and interference you sometimes experience when  
using a wireless FM connection. (See Figure 19.)

Wireless Connection  
If you cannot connect your SIRIUS radio directly to your vehicle’s audio system, your  
SIRIUS radio contains an FM transmitter that will ‘broadcast’ its audio to your vehicle’s  
FM radio.  
To use this you need to tune the SIRIUS receiver’s FM transmitter to an FM frequency  
that’s not being used 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.)

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. Your SIRIUS Sportster SP5  
[ Installation ]  
ꢀ2  
can store up to 5 preset FM transmit channels (see Figure 23, right), so you can easily  
switch to the best FM channel for each city.  
• To switch the FM transmit preset, press the FM Presets button on either the SP5 front  
panel or the remote.  
If you’re not sure which FM channels are not broadcasting in your home or travel cit-  
ies, you can also go to http://www.siriuscanada.ca/en/install/frequency.aspx and  
search for a suggested FM channel based on your zip code.  
Installing the fm Transmitter antenna  
The FM Transmitter Antenna (FMTA) brings the FM signal transmitted by your SIRIUS  
radio closer to your vehicle’s FM antenna to provide a strong FM signal for good recep-  
tion. To install the FTMA:  
1. Connect the FMTA to the vehicle dock. Insert the FMTA 2.5 mm plug into the FM  
OUT connector of the vehicle dock. (See Figure 25, left.)  
2. Position FMTA inside the vehicle. The FMTA wire should be run with the power  
adaptor wire, and placed on the dash board or even placed under the dash pad  
(if possible). (See Figure 25, right.) If your Sportster is mounted to the center  
console, the FTMA wire should be run along console.  
3. Hide the wires. Depending on the position of your Sportster, hide the wires by tuck-  
ing them into the seams in the dash board or the console seams where possible.

When paused, and the Instant Replay memory is 10 seconds from becoming full, you  
will hear two beeps (if the Power-Up Tone option is enabled). When the memory is full,  
the SP5 will automatically begin playback, and will continue to store the channel audio,  
overwriting the oldest portion of the audio previously stored.  
The Instant Replay Time Position indicates the exact amount of time the Play Position  
Indicator (see Figure 54, on page 72) is behind the live broadcast, expressed as  
Hours:Minutes:Seconds, and displayed as a negative number. For example, if –00:02:40
