WIRING AND WIRE CONNECTIONS.
Refer to your Sirius radio owner's guide for directions
for mounting your antenna and routing the cable to your
mounting location. The guide will also indicate whether
your radio is a 5 volt unit or 12 volt unit. This is important
as you need to use the three pin plug for the Power Adapter
for 12 volt units and the two pin plug for 5 volt units. The
plugs are not interchangeable making it difficult to use the
wrong power harness and plug.
After determining the correct harness and plug you should
attach the black, ground wire of the Power Adapter wire
to a good chassis ground using the supplied ring termi-
nal. The connection should be made to bare metal in the
vehicle. You may have to scrape paint to get down to bare
metal. The kick panel is usually a convenient location
for establishing the ground connection. Avoid brackets
under the dash and the steering column as they are almost
always very poor grounds. Next, test for a 12 volt circuit
in the vehicle that is switched with the key. An acces-
sory circuit is preferred and can be identified as a circuit
that shows 12 volts when the key is turned on and drops
to 0 volts when the vehicle cranks and then returns to 12
volts when the key falls back to the run position. The fuse
holder should be attached to this circuit within 18 inches
of the source. Do not install the fuse at this time. Con-
nect the red wire of the Power Adapter to the other side of
the fuse holder using the supplied butt connector. Do not
install the fuse until all other connections are completed.
The antenna can be plugged into the cradle at this time.
Make sure to follow all mounting and cable routing instruc-
tions for the antenna included with your Sirius radio.
