Step 6: Connect the Audio
To play Sirius audio through your vehicle’s stereo or FM radio, decide on
one of the following audio connection options:
•Option 1: Best: Use the provided Aux In Cable if your vehicle’s
stereo system has an auxiliary input connection or jack. Refer to your
vehicle’s owners manual to find the location of the auxiliary input
jack, or consult the vehicle dealer.
TIP! The auxiliary input jack may be located on the face plate of the vehicle
radio, on the back of the radio, anywhere on the front dash panel, inside the
glove compartment, or inside the center console in between the front seats.
•Option 2: Better: Use a Cassette Adapter if your vehicle has a built-
in cassette player. Cassette Adapters are sold separately and can be
purchased from an electronics retailer, or go to www.siriusxm.com/
accessories.
•Option 3: Good: Use the PowerConnect feature of Starmate 8.
PowerConnect plays the audio through your vehicle’s FM radio.
•Option 4: Best: Use the FM Direct Adapter. If none of the previous
three audio connection options will work in your vehicle, then you
will need to use the FM Direct Adapter (FMDA) (sold separately). The
FMDA needs to be installed by a professional installer and directly
connects Starmate 8 to your vehicle’s FM radio. To learn more, check
with the retailer where you bought your Radio, or go to
www.siriusxm.com/accessories.
Follow the installation instructions in the next several sections for the audio
connection option that you have selected.
