Commander Touch User Guide
Step 1: Install the Commander Touch Display Controller
WARNING! DO NOT attempt to install Commander Touch while driving. Park your vehicle
in a safe location before beginning installation.
The Commander Touch Display Controller can be
mounted in a variety of ways. It can be adhered
to a dash surface using double sided tape or hook
and loop tape (not included), or directly attached
to a dash surface using the included screws. The
Display Controller has a standard AMPS mounting
pattern on the back which is compatible with
many other types of mounting solutions designed
for vehicles, such as a suction cup windshield
mount, a pedestal mount, a dash mount, a vent
clip mount, etc; consult your retailer or installer.
Depending on your vehicle you may also be able to
use the included Flush Mount for a more integrated
look.
The Commander Touch includes a flush mount installation option which requires cutting an opening
in the dash or console of the vehicle which may or may not be suitable for your specific vehicle. A
professional installer will know if flush mounting is a suitable mounting solution for your vehicle, or
can recommend other installation options that are tailored to your specific vehicle, including custom
designing an installation solution. Please read through this User Guide before making the decision to
install the Commander Touch yourself. SiriusXM recommends professional installation.
NOTE! The installation shown in this User Guide is for the flush mounting option included
with the Commander Touch. Self installation instructions and tips are provided for your
convenience. It is your responsibility to determine if you have the knowledge, skills and
physical ability required to properly perform an installation. SiriusXM shall have no liability
for damage or injury resulting from the installation or use of any SiriusXM or third party
products. It is your responsibility to ensure that all products are installed in adherence
with local laws and regulations and in such a manner as to allow a vehicle to be operated
safely and without distraction. SiriusXM product warranties do not cover the installation,
removal or reinstallation of any product. SiriusXM recommends professional installation of
this product.
Installing the Commander Touch Display Controller Using the Flush Mount
1. Locate a suitable place in your dash or center console for installing the Flush Mount. The Flush
Mount requires an opening of 48 mm high x 110 mm wide, and an approximate clearance behind
the dashboard or console of 25 mm
depth to accommodate the Mounting
Brackets. Avoid any location which will
block or interfere with an airbag, or a
location which interferes with the safe
operation of the vehicle.
2. A template is available online to assist in
cutting the opening. Go to
www.siriusxm.
com/commandertouch and download and
print the template. Place the template
on the area selected and carefully cut
the opening, following the outline on the
template.
