Decide on one of the in-box audio connection options, Aux or Bluetooth®, or you can connect the audio using

an FM Direct Adapter (FMDA25) (sold separately, professional installation recommended). Refer to the three

following sections for each audio option installation.

Note that initially no audio connection option is selected for Roady BT. For each of the following audio

connection options you will ﬁrst need to select the desired audio option before the SiriusXM audio can be

heard.

Aux: Best: Connect the audio using the provided Aux Audio Cable if your vehicle’s radio/headunit has an auxiliary input jack.

A. Plug one end of the Aux Audio Cable into the AUDIO connector of the

Intelligent Power Adapter and the other end into the auxiliary input (Aux

or Audio) jack in the vehicle.

B. Turn on your vehicle’s radio/headunit and set it to play from the

auxiliary input source.

C. Press the Menu button on Roady BT and then, press to highlight

Audio Settings and press Select.

D. Audio Output will be highlighted. Press the Select button until AUX

is shown as the selected audio output.

E. Wait a moment while the Aux audio is enabled and then you should

hear channel 1 playing through the radio/headunit.

TIP! Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual to ﬁnd the location of the

auxiliary input jack, or consult the vehicle dealer.

Bluetooth: Best: Connect the audio using Bluetooth if your vehicle’s radio/headunit supports Bluetooth.

Note that Roady BT is only compatible with radios and headunits which support the Bluetooth audio streaming protocol. If the

vehicle radio/headunit only supports the Bluetooth phone protocol, Bluetooth cannot be used for the Roady BT audio connection.

A. Temporarily turn off Bluetooth capability in any devices that you may have with you during the installation, such as a cellphone,

to avoid other devices connecting to the vehicle’s radio/headunit instead of Roady BT.

B. Place the vehicle’s radio/headunit in Bluetooth pairing mode. Refer to

the vehicle owner’s manual for instructions on how to do this.

C. Press the Menu button on Roady BT and then, press to highlight

Audio Settings and press the Select button.

D. Audio Output will be highlighted. Press the Select button until

Bluetooth is shown as the selected audio output, and then wait a

moment while Bluetooth is enabled.

E. Press to highlight Bluetooth Settings and press the Select button.

Dash Mount Method:

IMPORTANT: The air temperature needs to be at least 60°F to install the Dash Mount. If needed, turn on the

heater in your vehicle.

A. Select a flat surface for the Dash Mount with ample room for the Roady BT display. Avoid

mounting on leather surfaces. Choose a location that doesn’t interfere with the driver’s vision or

access to driving controls, one that won’t interfere with the deployment of airbags or other safety

equipment, and makes the Roady BT display easily accessible for operation. (Airbag locations are

typically marked with “SRS” logos.)

B. Orient the adhesive foot so that Roady BT is easily accessible. Loosen the knob and adjust the

adhesive foot to position 1, 2, or 3, and then tighten it.

C. You can tilt the Dash Mount in your preferred direction.

D. Remove the adhesive liner from the back of the Magnet

and adhere the adhesive side of the Magnet to the Dash

Mount.

E. Clean the mounting surface in the vehicle with the alcohol

preparation pad and let it dry thoroughly.

F. Once the surface is dry, remove the adhesive liner from the Dash

Mount. Press and hold the Dash Mount in place for 30 seconds.

Allow the adhesive to cure for 2-4 hours.

G. Attach the Roady BT Display to the magnet on the Dash Mount.

Vent Mount Method:

A. Select a vent with ample room for the Roady BT display, one that won’t interfere with the deployment

of airbags or other safety equipment, and makes the Roady BT display easily accessible for operation.

(Airbag locations are typically marked with “SRS” logos.)

B. Some vents have recessed louvers. If yours are recessed, remove the regular vent clamps and

install the extended vent clamps.

C. Remove the adhesive liner from the back of the Magnet

and adhere the adhesive side of the Magnet to the Vent

Mount.

D. Install the Vent Mount onto the vehicle vent.

i. Insert the vent mount into the vent opening.

ii. Push until hooked on the rear of the vent louver. Rest the foot against the bottom of the vent.

iii. If necessary, adjust the tilt of the Vent Mount by repositioning the foot to a different tilt

adjustment hole.

E. Attach the Roady BT Display to the magnet on the Vent Mount.

Find a Location for the Roady BT Display and Mount it

Select either the Dash Mount method or the Vent Mount method for mounting the Roady BT, or, if there is a metal surface in the vehicle, the Magnet can be attached directly to the metal surface without using the

Dash or Vent Mount. Other magnetic type mounts may also be purchased separately from other vendors.

A. Mount the Magnetic Mount Antenna outside your vehicle, on a clean and dry horizontal surface

that will always face the sky.

B. Choose the location for the antenna according to your type of vehicle. Center it between the

left and right sides, and away from other antennas.

TIP: Use the Alcohol Prep Pad to clean the surface.

Route the Antenna Cable

NOTE:

These instructions are for a sedan or coupe where the

antenna is mounted above the front windshield. The Roady BT User

Guide has detailed antenna cable routing instructions for all types of

vehicles. Go to www.siriusxm.com/guides for the User Guide.

A. Tuck the antenna cable under the rubber molding around

the glass and run it to the nearest corner.

B. Route the cable out of the molding and into the rubber

weather stripping around the door opening.

C. Lift the weather stripping. Tuck and run the cable inside it

to the bottom of the door opening. Replace the weather stripping.

D. Pull the cable out and route it to the Roady BT Intelligent Power Adapter.

E. Plug the Magnetic Mount Antenna connector into the ANT connector

on the Intelligent Power Adapter.

TIP: Include enough slack in your routing to accommodate open doors or the hood

lid. Coil any excess cable in a hidden location and keep it away from any vehicle

pedals or controls.

AUDIOFM ANT

A. Be sure the vehicle is outside and the antenna has a clear view of the sky.

B. Verify that you are receiving the XM signal. The Roady BT Radio should be tuned to XM channel 1, the XM Preview channel.

There should at least be two bars in the upper right corner of the Now Playing screen that denotes antenna signal strength. If

not, be sure that you have mounted the antenna on the outside of the vehicle, as shown in step 2, and that the vehicle is parked

outdoors with a clear view of the sky. Move the vehicle away from any obstructed area, for example, if you are parked in a

garage, or parked near a large structure.

C. You can also press the Menu button and then press to scroll to

and highlight Signal Indicator. Press the Select button. The Satellite

and Terrestrial bars show the strength of the signal being received.

If the signal reception is good, press and hold the Menu button to

return to XM channel 1, the XM Preview channel.
