SIRIUS radio
operates via satellite signals, which may conflict with an ordinary radio's FM signals, causing static and interference. The SIRIUS FM Direct Adapter connects a traditional AM/FM radio to a SIRIUS radio, reducing or eliminating the interference. The FM Direct Adapter can be installed using a professional installation service or you can connect the device yourself. The proper connections can be made by removing the vehicle's AM/FM radio from the dashboard. Some vehicles may require an additional adapter to complete the process.
Instructions
1. Remove the vehicle's AM/FM radio from the dashboard and disconnect its antenna cable, located near the rear of the radio.
2. Connect the additional adapter to the Direct Adapter's FM antenna cable, if your vehicle model requires it. Insert the FM antenna cable into the radio's antenna cable port.
3. Insert the AM/FM radio cable into the other end of the additional adapter, if necessary. Connect the adapter to the Direct Adapter's FM antenna socket. If you are not using an additional adapter, connect the AM/FM radio cable and the antenna socket directly.
4. Connect the FM Direct Adapter's mini connector to the SIRIUS radio's "FM OUT" connection, if the radio is not equipped with a vehicle dock. Connect the mini connector to the vehicle dock if your model of radio includes one.
5. Use the vehicle's AM/FM radio to select an FM station that receives little to no reception. Select the same channel on the SIRIUS radio. If you hear a clear SIRIUS broadcast, installation is complete.
