porarily redirected away from the vehicle radio. The SIRIUS audio is then sent via
the FM antenna cable to the headunit. By setting the SIRIUS tuner and your vehicle
headunit to the same FM channel, you can hear the SIRIUS radio audio. Note that
the FMDA does not affect the SIRIUS Backseat TV reception which is available
whether or not you are listening to SIRIUS radio broadcasts.
Installation
SIRIUS suggests professional installation of this product in your vehicle. Professional
installation provides an experienced technician to install this product in your vehicle,
advice for selecting a suitable mounting location for the tuner and DCU, installation of
the antennas and infrared receiver, and routing and connecting all the necessary wires
and cables.
Wiring Diagrams
Figures 1, 2, and 3 show several possible wiring diagrams:
• Figure 1 depicts the wiring when the DCU is used, and the audio is connected via
a cable to the AUX input of the headunit
Configuration Considerations
• Figure 2 depicts the wiring when the DCU is used, and the FMDA is used for the
audio input to the headunit
display Control unit
The FMDA must be used if the vehicle’s headunit does not have a direct audio con-
nection.
The SCV1 includes a Display Control Unit (DCU) which provides an interface to con-
trol the SIRIUS A/V tuner. The DCU can tune and display the SIRIUS radio channels,
and can also control the SIRIUS Backseat TV and change TV channels, as well as
displaying TV programming information.
Audio Connection to the Vehicle headunit
There are two options for connecting the SIRIUS audio output to your vehicle’s head-
unit:
• Direct connection using an audio cable. An audio cable with RCA-type connectors
is included for vehicles where the headunit has an auxiliary audio input. This option
provides the best possible audio quality.
• Connection using the FM Direct Adapter (FMDA). If your vehicle’s headunit does
not have an auxiliary audio input, you must use the provided FMDA instead. The
FMDA installs in-line with the FM antenna input to the vehicle headunit. When you
turn on the SIRIUS radio, the FM antenna input to your vehicle’s headunit is tem-

Tuner module installation
Tuner Module, Display Control Unit, Infrared Eye, &
Power Harness Installation
The tuner module can be located in any place which is convenient, such as under a
seat, under or behind the dashboard, or in the trunk or rear cargo area, etc. The loca-
tion should be one where the tuner module will not get bumped or kicked, and where
the wiring can be easily hidden. It should not be located where it will be in direct
sunshine, causing the temperature to exceed 85° C (185° F) in warm weather.
Figure 4 shows a typical installation of the tuner module, DCU, and IR eye in a vehicle.
The exact placement of these devices will be dependent upon the interior design of
your particular vehicle.
The tuner module has four feet for securing mounting it to the vehicle as shown in
Figure 5. These feet are removable if a different mounting choice is desired.
figure 5
display Control unit installation
The DCU should be mounted in the front seating area of the vehicle, where it can be
easily seen and operated by the driver, but not mounted where it could distract the
driver, or obstruct the driver’s view. It should also not be mounted where it could inter-
fere with the operation of the airbags in the vehicle. Figure 4 shows a typical mounting
location on the center console of the dash.

The IR eye receives the backseat TV remote control signals, and should be mounted in
the rear seat area where the video monitor is located. It can be mounted on the rear of
the center console, or on the pillar behind one of the front doors, as shown in Figure 4.
You may need to test your mounting location to ensure that the IR eye will receive the

Magnetic Vehicle Antenna Installation
If needed, the IR eye cable can be extended by using a 1/8” mini-stereo extension
cable (not included).
The magnetic vehicle antennas have a strong magnetic mount designed to hold the
antenna in place on the exterior of the vehicle during normal driving conditions (high-
way/city). Installation of the antennas consists of three installation steps:
Power Harness
1. Selecting the mounting locations for the antennas
2. Mounting each antenna with the cover/tail on the vehicle.
3. Routing the antenna cables through the vehicle to the tuner.
The power harness for the SCV1 has power filter box which contains a fuse for the
12V battery connection. The power harness also has an in-line fuse for the ignition
connection. Figure 6 shows the location and type of these fuses, and also the identi-
fies the pin-outs of the power connector.
Selecting the Antenna mounting locations
For optimal performance of the SCV1, these guidelines should be followed when installing
the antennas. Figure 7 shows the optimal mounting locations for the antennas for several
types of vehicles. If possible, mount the antennas in the locations shown, while observing
these guidelines:
Power Connector
In-Line Fuse
ACC
1. The antennas should be mounted on the exterior of the vehicle, on the roof.
2. The tail/cover for the antenna serves to secure the antenna wire to the surface,
and position the antenna exactly 3 inches from the roof edge. It should be used
when installing the antennas.
BATT
BATTERY
Power Filter
with Fuse
GND
3. Each antenna should be mounted where no obstructions will block the antenna from
receiving the SIRIUS signal. Each antenna needs to have an unobstructed area of
3 inches by 3 inches around it. 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).
4. The separation between the two antennas should be 36 inches or greater. The
greater the distance between the antennas, the better the performance. If it is not
possible to install the antennas at least 36 inches apart on your vehicle, then they
can be placed a minimum of 24 inches apart. Any separation less than 24 inches
will compromise the performance of the SCV1.

Figure 9 shows several antenna mounting configurations which will compromise the
performance of the SCV1. Avoid mounting the antennas in any of these configurations:
Note: The SCV1 uses a special diversity antenna system that requires the use of
two antennas mounted at opposite ends of the vehicle to maximize video signal
reception when driving in areas with heavy foliage or lots of buildings.
• Don’t mount the antennas closer than 24 inches to each other
• Don’t mount one or both of the antennas inside the vehicle on the dashboard
• Don’t mount one or both of the antennas on the trunk lid of a sedan
Figure 8 shows several alternate mounting locations for the antennas. These can be
used if it is not possible to install the antennas as shown in Figure 7 on your vehicle, or
to achieve a minimum separation of at least 24 inches between the antennas.

5. Double check that the location of the antenna and rubber cover/tail are correct,
and continue to press firmly down on rubber cover/tail for another 30 seconds.
At room temperature (68 degrees), maximum adhesion usually occurs within 72
hours. During this period, avoid car washes and other contact with the antenna
and rubber antenna cable cover/tail.

mounting the Antennas on the Vehicle
Follow this procedure for mounting each antenna:
1. Select an appropriate mounting position for your type of vehicle according to the
instructions in the previous section.
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.
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 10) and press the
rubber cover/tail firmly into place on the vehicle (Figure 11).

routing the Antenna Cables
Installing the FM Direct Adapter
When you have successfully mounted the antennas on the vehicle, you can begin rout-
ing the antenna cables to the tuner.
The FMDA is used if the vehicle’s headunit does not have a connection for a direct au-
dio input. The FMDA should be located near the headunit as the vehicle’s FM antenna
will need to be connected to it. Figure 13 shows the wiring connections for the FMDA.
Figure 12 shows a typical antenna cable routing diagram, where the tuner has been
installed under the front passenger seat. The exact routing of the antenna cables may
vary depending upon where you have installed the tuner in your vehicle. Avoid side
airbag locations on front and back pillars, and above the doors. (Airbag locations are
marked with “SRS” logos.)
