Choosing the Proper XM SureConnect Installation
4
To choose the proper XM SureConnect installation method, first you need to
determine the location of your vehicle’s FM antenna, and plan how to properly
route the XM SureConnect cables to your FM antenna location.
The FM antenna type and location will determine which option you will need. The
chart below and illustrations on page 5 will assist you in locating your vehicle’s
FM antenna from one of seven most common locations.
Note: XM SureConnect was not designed for use on retractable (automatic up
and down) FM antennas and some FM antennas that are custom shapes that
were designed to match the styling of the vehicle. If your vehicle has either of
these types of FM antennas, you will not be able to use the XM SureConnect
accessory. You will need to use the professional wired FM method of installation.
For best audio performance, you will either install the XM SureConnect by clip-
ping directly to an external FM antenna (locations 1 through 4) or directly on an
internal on-glass FM antenna (locations 5 through 7) using the window Contact
Bracket included.
