Quick Guide

The XM antenna contains a strong magnet, allowing it to
stick to any metal parts of your vehicle.
Step 1: Mounting the XM Antenna
Mount the XM antenna to the roof or trunk of the vehicle. During installation,
make sure you are outdoors and the antenna is not obstructed by tall buildings.
For best results mount the XM antenna to the outside of your vehicle. Below are
the recommended options

Step 2: Installing the Vent Mount or Swivel Mount
Installing the vent mount
To install the vent mount, find a horizon-
tal vent that is strong enough to hold
your Xpress
R
and car cradle. To remove
the vent mount, push it into the vent and
lift upwards slightly to release the
mount’s hooks from the vent vane.
Some parts of the vent mount can be adjusted to better suit
your vehicle’s vent.
1. Clean the mounting surfaces with
the surface preparation kit.
adhesive liner
2. Peel away the adhesive liner and firmly press the swivel mount to
the surface for 30 seconds. Allow 24 hours before using the
mount.
Step 3: How to receive XM through your car stereo
There are several methods of receiving XM through your car stereo
Cassette Adapter: Use the cassette adapter if your vehicle’s audio system has a built in cassette
player. The cassette adapter will provide the best audio quality.
XM SureConnect: You can listen to your Xpress
R
through your car stereo by using Xpress
R
’s built-in
FM modulator and the XM SureConnect. Simply find an unused FM frequency on the stereo and set
your Xpress
R
to transmit on that same frequency. For XM SureConnect install, please see your XM
SureConnect installation guide.
Professional Wired: The third option is the FM Direct Adapter (sold separately). We recommend
professional installation if you choose to use this method of install.
Audio input: Some vehicles come with an audio input jack. If your vehicle has this type of input
you can simply use a mini audio cable (sold separately).

Car Cradle
or
Plug the antenna, the power adapter, and either the cassette adapter or the XM SureConnect into the
car cradle as shown. The FM Direct Adapter is not pictured.
Once you have all of the cables correctly connected you can lock your Xpress
R
into the car cradle.
1. Unlock the car cradle locking mechanism
2.
Slide your Xpress
R
into the car cradle
until it is in place.
3.
Slide the locking mechanism into place. This
ensures that your Xpress
R
always stays in place.
4.
If you haven’t already done so, hook the
car cradle to the mount.
You can adjust the tension of the
mount with a screwdriver
If you need to remove the mount, carefully lift the adhesive pad with your fingers
or a spoon. Warming with a hair dryer for several minutes will help soften the ad-
hesive. Your swivel mount comes with an extra adhesive pad.
You can orient your swivel different ways to accommodate the space available in your vehicle.
Installing the swivel mount
To install the swivel mount, first find a suitable location. The swivel mount’s adhesive is very
strong and may be difficult to remove. Do not install this mount on leather surfaces and
make sure the air temperature is at least 60°F (15°C).

I When using this product it is always important to keep your eyes on the road and hands on the
wheel. Not doing so could result in personal injury, death, and/or damage to your Xpress
R
Receiver,
accessories, and/or to your vehicle or other property.
I Xpress
R
should be placed in your vehicle where it will not interfere with the function of safety fea-
tures, e.g., deployment of airbags. Failure to correctly place Xpress
R
may result in injury to you or
others if the unit becomes detached during an accident and/or obstructs the deployment of an
airbag.
