Sirius Satellite Radio FMDA25 is a device that connects to your car's antenna and Sirius radio using two cables. The FMDA25 then sends the Sirius radio signal to your car stereo, even if your car stereo does not have an auxiliary input.

The FMDA25 is compatible with all Sirius satellite radios, including the Sirius One, Sportster, Starmate, and Stiletto. It is also compatible with most car stereos, regardless of make or model.

To use the FMDA25, simply connect the two cables to your Sirius radio and car stereo, and then tune your car stereo to an unused FM frequency. You will then be able to listen to Sirius satellite radio through your car stereo.

The FMDA25 is compatible with all Sirius satellite radios, including the Sirius One, Sportster, Starmate, and Stiletto. It is also compatible with most car stereos, regardless of make or model.

[ Getting Started ]

Getting Started

The FM Direct Adapter directly connects the FM signal from your SIRIUS radio to your

vehicle’s AM/FM radio, reducing any interference which might be present from FM radio sta-

tion broadcasts. When the SIRIUS radio is turned off, the vehicle’s FM antenna is automati-

cally connected back to the vehicle’s AM/FM radio. The adapter connects directly in-line with

the vehicle’s existing AM/FM antenna input.

The SIRIUS FM Direct Adapter is designed to work with SIRIUS Satellite plug and play radios

such as SIRIUS One™, Starmate™ Replay, and InV™, and with vehicle docks for plug and play

radios such as Sportster™, Starmate 3, Starmate 4, S50™, Stratus™, and Stiletto™.

SIRIUS suggests professional installation of this product in your vehicle. Ask your SIRIUS

retailer if they provide professional installation services, or can recommend a professional

installation service.

Installation

Considerations

Certain vehicle models will require adapters to connect the vehicle’s AM/FM antenna to the

FM Direct Adapter, and to connect the FM Direct Adapter to the vehicle’s AM/FM radio. Your

SIRIUS retailer may sell these adapters, or a professional installer may be able to provide

them.

Vehicle Installation

To install the FM Direct Adapter in your vehicle, refer to Figures 1 & 2 and follow these steps:

Remove the vehicle’s AM/FM radio from the dash and disconnect the vehicle’s AM/FM

antenna cable from the rear of the radio.

Plug the FM antenna cable from the FM Direct Adapter into the same connector on

vehicle’s AM/FM radio. (An additional adapter may be required.)

Plug the vehicle’s AM/FM antenna cable (which was disconnected from the vehicle’s

AM/FM radio) into the female FM antenna socket of the FM Direct Adapter. (An ad-

ditional adapter may be required.)

Plug the mini-connector of the FM Direct Adapter into the FM OUT connection on your

SIRIUS radio (for radios without a vehicle dock), or into the FM OUT connection on your

SIRIUS vehicle dock (for radios with a vehicle dock).

Choose a channel on the FM band of the vehicle’s AM/FM radio that has little or no

reception from a local FM station. You can consult the SIRIUS website at http://www.

sirius.com/fmchannel for more information on finding a clear FM channel in your area.

Choose the same channel from the FM Frequency menu of your SIRIUS radio. (Refer to

the user guide of your SIRIUS radio for more details.)

If the installation is successful, you should hear the SIRIUS broadcasts through the vehicle’s

AM/FM radio.
