Vehicle installation

Every vehicle is different; for your safety, follow all instructions carefully. Consult a

professional installer if you have questions.

1. To begin, first decide which method of installation is best for your vehicle:

Cassette Adapter: Use the cassette adapter if your vehicle’s audio system has a built

in cassette player.

XM SureConnect: You can listen to your Xpress

through your car stereo by using

Xpress

’s built-in FM modulator and the XM SureConnect. Simply find an unused FM

frequency on the stereo and set your Xpress

to transmit on that same frequency. See

your XM SureConnect installation guide.

FM Direct Adapter: 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).

vehicle installation

2. Once you have chosen your method of installation, next decide where in your vehicle

you would like to mount your Xpress

. The two included methods are vent mount

and swivel mount:

3. Next decide the best location for your XM antenna. Mount this 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.

4. Finally you will connect all of the plugs to the car cradle and lock your Xpress

into

place. Once in place you can activate your Xpress

Now that you have all of the parts you need, you are ready to begin installing your

Xpress

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.

The XM antenna contains a strong magnet, allowing

it to stick to any metal parts of your vehicle.

XpressR user guide old cradle.qxp:Layout 1 5/2/07 12:38 PM Page 14

Step 2: Installing the Vent Mount or Swivel Mount

Installing the vent mount

To install the vent mount, find a horizontal vent that is strong enough to hold your

Xpress

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 vent.

vehicle installation

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 sur-

faces and make sure the air temperature is at least 60°F (15°C).

Clean the mounting surfaces with the

surface preparation kit.

Peel away the adhesive liner and firmly press the

swivel mount to the surface for 30 seconds. Allow

24 hours before using the mount

adhesive liner

XpressR user guide old cradle.qxp:Layout 1 5/2/07 12:38 PM Page 16

vehicle installation

You can orient your swivel different ways

to accommodate the space available in

your vehicle.

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 adhesive. Your

swivel mount comes with an extra adhesive pad.

You can adjust this screw to adjust

the tension of the mount with a

screwdriver.

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.

XM SureConnect: You can listen to your Xpress

through your vehicle’s audio system

by using Xpress

’s built-in FM modulator and the XM SureConnect. Simply find an un-

used FM frequency on the stereo and set your Xpress

to transmit on that same fre-

quency. 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).

Plug the antenna, power adapter, and either the cassette adapter or XM SureConnect

into the car cradle as shown on the next page. The FM Direct Adapter is not pictured.

Now that your Xpress

is all set up, it is time to power it up. If you are using the XM

SureConnect you will need to read Step 4. If you are using the cassette adapter you are

all finished and ready to move on to activation on page 24.

Step 4: Making Your Vehicle’s FM Radio an XM Radio

Your Xpress

contains a built-in FM modulator that requires the use of either the

included XM SureConnect or the optional FM Direct Adapter (sold separately) to

transmit the XM audio signal to your vehicle’s FM radio.

First, turn on your car stereo. You will need to find a suitable FM frequency in order to

get the best sound. A suitable FM frequency is an unused frequency or weak station

that is not located near a strong FM station in your area.
