Roady Receiver Installation Your Roady Receiver can be installed as follows: 1. First, attach all of the components as shown in figure 4 (page 15).
Section 5 3. Clean the vehicle mounting surface with the enclosed surface preparation cleaning kit. Wipe with the towelette in only one direction.

Allow to air dry thoroughly to ensure effective adhesion. 4. Clean the same surface with the enclosed alcohol prep pad. Wipe in the same direction and manner as with the towelette.
7. Reassemble the system as in step 1, inserting cassette audio adaptor into the vehicle’s cassette deck and the 12V power adaptor into the cigarette lighter. 8. Attach the antenna as explained on page 20. Removing car mount from your dashboard You can remove the car mount from your dashboard by taking the following steps: 1. Lift one edge of the adhesive pad gently with fingers or the rounded edge of a spoon.
Section 5 XM Antenna Set-up Antenna Installation • Best reception is achieved with the antenna mounted on the metal surface of the vehicle roof in the center of an area with at least 12" x 12" of surface area and a minimum of 6" from a window or sunroof. Figure 6 shows three typical mounting locations. • If the vehicle has roof racks or skid ribs, it may be necessary to mount the antenna off-center.
Cable Routing • Once you have mounted the antenna in the correct location, plan how to route the cable from this location to the receiver, avoiding blocked passages and any obstructions that could kink, crimp, twist, or chafe the cable. Figure 7 shows typical routing configurations. If the cable will come into contact with a rough metal opening, use a rubber grommet to prevent damage.
Section 5 • For antenna mounting locations at the rear of the roof, the antenna cable can be routed into the vehicle through the trunk, as shown in figure 8. Always route the cable under the weather seal near the lowest part of the trunk to help reduce possible water leaks. • Use pre-existing wiring channels created by the vehicle manufacturer whenever possible. Rear Mounting Option Figure 8. Route XM Antenna wiring as shown.
Final installation Verify that the antenna is in its final desired position. The antenna contains a powerful magnet that will secure the antenna to a metal roof under normal driving conditions.
