Option 3: FM Installation Instructions
The FM Direct Adapter (required, and sold separately) should be installed by a professional installer.
Professional installation can help improve your Roady BT’s reception and significantly reduce the
visibility of wires. To learn more, check with the retailer where you bought Roady BT, or go to www.
siriusxm.com/accessories.
1. Purchase an FM Direct Adapter (FMDA25) and have it installed by a professional, or install it by
following the installation instructions included with the FMDA25.
2. Connect the FM cable from the FMDA25 to the FM connector on the
Intelligent Power Adapter.
3. Press Menu on Roady BT and then, press to highlight Audio
Settings and press the Select button.
4. Audio Output will be highlighted. Press the Select button until FM is shown as the selected
audio output. Wait a moment while FM audio is enabled.
5. Be sure the vehicle is outside and the SiriusXM antenna has a clear
view of the sky. Verify that you are receiving the SiriusXM signal.
There should be at least two bars in the upper right corner of the
Now Playing screen that denotes antenna signal strength.
You can also press Menu 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 Menu to return to the Now Playing
screen.
6. You’ll first need to find an available FM channel. An available FM
channel is one that’s not being used by an FM radio station in your
area. When you tune your vehicle’s FM radio to an available channel,
you should only hear static or silence – not talk or music. We
recommend one of the following methods to find an available FM
channel:
a. Use the SiriusXM FM Channel Finder at www.siriusxm.com/fmchannel. Go to the website
and enter your zip code. The Channel Finder will suggest a list of available FM channels in
your area. For convenience, write down or print out the list.
OR
b. Manually tune through your local FM channels on your vehicle’s FM radio. Locate and create
a list of channels that aren’t being used by any FM radio station. Write down the list. Once
you have created your list of available FM channels, you will need to find the one that
provides the best match for Roady BT.
TIP! You’ll need to use the ‘Manual’ tune function on your vehicle’s FM radio to tune
through every FM channel one-by-one. Turn on your vehicle’s FM radio. Start at 88.1 and
use the ‘Manual’ tune function on your vehicle’s FM radio to tune through each FM channel
one-by-one (88.1 followed by 88.3 etc.) to locate channels that aren’t being used by a local
