3 Snap the mount onto the vent.

To remove, push the mount into the vent, then lift up.

Install the Adhesive Mount

CAUTION: The adhesive used with the adhesive mount may make it difficult to remove. Do not

install this mount on leather surfaces and make sure the air temperature is at least 60°F (15°C).

1 Locate a flat surface for the mount. Make sure there is ample room for the

vehicle dock and radio when installed.

2 Clean the surface with the alcohol pad and let it dry thoroughly.

3 Peel off the adhesive liner. Position, press, and hold the adhesive mount

in place for 30 seconds.

IMPORTANT: Let the adhesive dry for 2 - 3 hours before attaching the vehicle dock and

radio to the mount. For best results let dry for 24 hours.

Vehicle Installation

NOTE: Do it yourself with the step-by-step instructions below if your vehicle has a cassette player or

audio input. If your vehicle does not have a cassette player or audio input, professional installation is

strongly recommended.

If your vehicle requires professional installation you will need to use either the XM SureConnect

(sold separately) or the XM FM Direct Adapter (sold separately).

Step 1: The Big Decision.

Pick a spot for your radio. Vent or Dashboard?

You can use either the vent mount or the adhesive mount for your radio depending on

your particular situation.

Install the Vent Mount

1 Locate a vent with horizontal slats sturdy

enough to hold your vehicle dock and radio.

2 Adjust the clamps to fit your vent.

Antenna placement options for other vehicles.

• Pickup Truck - Above front windshield, on the roof toward front of cab.

Centered between right and left sides.

• Convertible - On trunk lid, at least 3” from seam. Centered between right

and left sides.

2 Hide the wires inside.

The best place to hide your antenna

wire depends on your vehicle. It’s

usually easiest to run the wire from

the rear of the vehicle to the front

toward the radio by routing the

cable along the interior trim where it

meets the carpet, by gently pushing

it behind the edges of the trim. Then

bring the cable out from the trim

and route it under the carpet to the

dashboard or console. Plug the cable

into the radio and coil any extra

wires under the carpet or floor mat.

TIP! Always be careful to include enough

slack in your cable to accommodate open

doors or trunk lids. Use things typically

found around the home, like electrical tape

or twist ties, to secure cables in areas so

that hinges do not pinch the cable. Hide any

excess cable in the trim.

WARNINGS:

When using this product it is always important to keep your eyes on the road and hands on the

wheel. Not doing so could result in personal injury, death and/or damage to your SIRIUS XM Radio,

accessories and /or to your vehicle or other property.

The radio should be placed in your vehicle where it will not interfere with the function of safety

features, e.g., deployment of airbags. Failure to correctly place radio may result in injury to you or

others if the unit becomes detached during an accident and/or obstructs the deployment of an airbag.

Step 3: Connect Your Radio.

Almost there!

1 Plug the Antenna into the vehicle dock’s ANT IN connection.

2 Plug the Power Adapter into the vehicle dock’s DC IN connection.

3 Plug one of the audio adapters into the vehicle dock’s AUDIO OUT connection.

• Use the Aux In Cable if your vehicle has an audio input jack.

• Use the Cassette Adapter if your vehicle has a built-in cassette player.

4 Insert the dock into the vent or adhesive mount.

5 Insert your radio into the dock.

NOTE: If your vehicle is not equipped with a cassette player or an audio input, you will need to

use either the XM SureConnect (sold separately) or the FM Direct Adapter (sold separately). A

professional installation is strongly recommended if you choose to use this method. Professional

installation can help improve your radio’s reception and significantly reduce the visibility of wires.

To learn more, go to www.sirius.com/mirge.

• XM SureConnect (sold separately): You can listen to your radio through your vehicle’s stereo by

using the XM SureConnect. Simply find an unused FM frequency on the stereo and set your radio

to transmit on that same frequency. Refer to Set the FM Frequency page in your user guide for

more information.

audio system and antenna.

tension via the center screw.

To remove, carefully lift the adhesive pad with your fingers or a spoon. Warming the

pad with a hair dryer for several minutes will help soften the adhesive.

You’ll be glad you did this right.

YOU MUST USE THE INCLUDED INTEROPERABLE ANTENNA WITH THIS RADIO

1 Place the antenna outside.

Leave at least 3” of metal around the antenna.

Use the rubber tail cover to hide and protect the

exposed wire. Feed the wire under the rubber

molding around the back windshield, into the seal

around the trunk. Route the cable along trunk wall

and into the interior cabin from there.
