The cable twist ties that were provid-ed with the power adapter and carantenna cables can be reused togather, bundle, twist tie, and secureany excess cable. Excess cable can begathered under the dash, between theseat or console, or under the mat so itis not in the way.

Figure 3.

When using the wireless FM modula-tor, securing and tie-wrapping theexcess cable reduces backgroundhissing noise.

Check movement of doors and trunksas well as seats so they do not dam-age excess cable.


The SKYFi2 Vehicle Adapter Kitoffers you many ways of connectingyour SKYFi2 to your vehicle’s radio.All options provide excellent soundquality and stereo separation.Review and consider your ownunique situation when choosingfrom the three options.

6 Cassette AdapterFor vehicles with a built-in cassettep l a y e r. Due to its superior audio quality,this configuration is re c o m m e n d e dover the wired or wireless FM modulator configurations if a cassette slot is available in the vehicle.

Direct ConnectThe Delphi FM Direct Adapter(SA10112) (sold separately) can pro v i d eaudio input through the vehicle’santenna lead. (Some vehicles mayre q u i re special antenna lead adapters.)

Wireless FM ModulatorFor the ultimate ease of installation,SKYFi2 has a built-in wireless FMmodulator that allows you to hear XMprogramming through your vehicle’sFM radio. The factory default settingfor the FM modulator is turned off.See the SKYFi2 Satellite RadioReceiver User Guide for more details.


Note: If using the wireless FM modulator orthe Delphi FM Direct A d a p t e r, set the SKYFi2Receiver and the vehicle’s FM radio to the samef re q u e n c y. See the SKYFi2 User Guide s e c t i o non “Listening to XM Using Any FM R a d i o . ”

SKYFi2 InstallationBecause every vehicle is different,these instructions are provided as ageneral guideline only. If you needhelp, consult a professional installer.1. Decide which method (cassette

adapter, wireless FM modulator, ordirect connect) is most appropriate for your vehicle and where you live.

2. Verify the system is working bycompleting a test. Before installingthe system, connect the XM Antenna,12V power adapter, and audioconnector or cassette adapter (ifused) to the SKYFi2 Vehicle Adaptercradle with the SKYFi2 Receiver

i n s e rt e d . Plug the 12V poweradapter into the cigarette lighterand place the XM Antenna on theroof of your vehicle. Make sure youa re outdoors and not surroundedby tall buildings or trees. Turn onboth your vehicle’s radio andSKYFi2 Receiver. Tune the SKYFi2Receiver to XM channel 1. Youshould be able to hear the XMPreview channel. If not, check allconnections.

Wa rn i n g : Do not install the mount where itor SKYFi2 could block your vision or usage ofcontrols, or interfere with any safety devicessuch as airbags. Failure to correctly placeSKYFi2 could result in injury to you or others ifthe unit becomes detached during an accidentand/or obstructs the deployment of an airbag.

8 3. Turn off the radio and SKYFi2Receiver. Disconnect all cables.

4. Find a place where you can mountyour SKYFi2 Vehicle Adapterwhere it is most convenient foryou to use. It should be mountedto a hard, flat surface below thetop of the dash within easy reach.Choosing a lower location makesit easier to manage the cables. Alower location also ensuresSKYFi2 will not cause interferencewith other FM radios outside thevehicle. See figure 4.

5. The SKYFi2 Vehicle Adapter Kithas two mounting options: flatmount or swivel mount.

a. Flat mount: Use the included Velcro pads or extra adhe-sive pad, attaching them to the back of the SKYFi2 vehiclecradle and then to a flat surface in your vehicle. Do notinstall the mount on a leather surface.

Figure 4.


b. Swivel mount: This mount allowsyou to adjust the angle of yourSKYFi2 Vehicle Adapter after it isinstalled. This mount uses astrong adhesive that is not easilyrepositioned when installed, so usec a re when choosing the location ofand placing the mount. Do notinstall this mount on a leather sur-f a c e . Install the mount only if thetemperature is at least 60°F.– Clean the mounting surface with

the enclosed surface pre p a r a t i o ncleaning kit. Wipe the towelette

of the vehicle’s defrost outlet forseveral minutes with the heateron. Remove the liner from theadhesive pad and adhere to thev e h i c l e ’s surface. Make sure youaccurately place the pad on thefirst try since in many cases it willbond almost immediately. Forbest results, do not touch or applyp re s s u re to the vehicle mount for72 hours.

Removing swivel mount from your dashboardYou can remove the swivel mountfrom your dashboard by followingthese steps:1. Lift one edge of the adhesive pad

gently with fingers or the roundededge of a spoon. Once enough ofthe edge is loosened to grip withyour fingers, pull the pad gentlyfrom the mounting surface at a 90-degree angle. Do not use sharp tools that could damage the vehicle’s interior.

2. If the pad fails to loosen, warm itwith a hair dryer for 2 to 3 minutesto soften the adhesive. Be carefulnot to apply too much heat, whichcould damage the mounting surface. Repeat step 1.

3. If any adhesive remains on thedashboard surface, the adhesivecan easily be removed by rubbingyour thumb or finger across it.

4. As necessary, use a mild householdcleaner to clean the dashboardsurface.

Caution: Never use a commercial heat gun ora paint-stripping gun. This can damage theunit or your vehicle.

1 2 Important: Do not install antenna inside the vehicle passenger compartment. An antennamounted on the dashboard or on the rear windowdeck area of the vehicle will likely experience signali n t e rruption issues and must be avoided. Mountingthe antenna on a nonmetallic surface will alsoresult in severe degradation in re c e p t i o n .

Wa rn i n g : Failure to properly install theantenna may result in injury to you or others if itbecomes detached during an accident.

XM Antenna SetupFor best reception, the XM Antennashould be placed either:– In front of the rear window (option1)– Behind the windshield (option 2)

When deciding which location to choose, keep in mind:– The antenna will perform best if it

has an unobstructed view of the open sky and is surrounded by a minimum of 3 to 6 inches of metal.

– For best FM modulator perf o rma n c e ,locate the antenna as close to the vehicle’s FM antenna as possible.

– If the vehicle has roof racks or skid ribs, the antenna can be mounted off-center.

– Trunk mounting is an alternative for hard- or soft-top convertibles with nonmetallic rooftops, though recep-tion may not be as good.


1 3Routing the CableOption 1When using option 1, route the cableinto the trunk as shown in figure 6.Always cross the weather seal at thelowest part of the trunk to reducewater leaks. From the trunk, route thecable into the passenger compart-ment through available wire channelsand then along the floor under thedoor jamb trim or under the carpet tothe front of the passenger compart-ment. Do not leave the cable loose inthe passenger compartment where itis likely to be damaged.

Option 2When using option 2, route thecable along the door jamb andinto the vehicle as shown in figure6. Route the cable across theweather seal near the bottom ofthe door to reduce water leaks.
