[ Installation ] 36 Connecting Your SIRIUS InV2 to Your Vehicle’s Audio System There are two ways to connect your SIRIUS InV2 to your vehicle’s audio system: Direct Connection or Wireless Connection. Which one will perform best in your vehicle depends on your vehicle’s audio system.
[ Installation ] 37 Direct FM Audio Connection If your vehicle’s audio system does not have an Aux In/Line In connection, a SIRIUS FM Direct Adapter (sold separately) will provide the next best quality connection between your SIRIUS InV2 and your vehicle radio.
[ Installation ] 38 Cassette Adapter If your vehicle’s audio system has a cassette player you can purchase a cassette adapter from your local electronics retailer or from SIRIUS at http://shop.
[ Installation ] 39 Wireless Audio Connection If you cannot connect your SIRIUS InV2 directly to your vehicle’s audio system, it con- tains an FM transmitter that will ‘broadcast’ its audio to your vehicle’s FM radio.
[ Installation ] 40 4. Press and hold the FM P RESETS button. The InV2’s display will show the FM1 preset frequency (see Figure 20 ). Note: FM1 is factory-set to 88.1MHz. This may not be the best frequency for your area. 5. Press the Select button to select the FM1 preset.
[ Installation ] 41 TIP: If you regularly travel between cities with different active FM channels, you may need to find channels that are not broadcasting in each city. Your SIRIUS InV2 can store 5 different preset FM transmitter channels so you can easily switch to the best FM channel for each city.
[ Installation ] 42 IMPORT ANT NOTE The FM Extender Antenna is placed inside your vehicle in close proximity to the vehicle’s FM antenna. In order for it to provide a strong FM signal for good reception, it MUST be mounted in the correct location and orientation, as described in the following section.
[ Installation ] 43 W ARNING Notice To Drivers In California and Minnesota State law prohibits drivers in California and Minnesota from using suction mounts on their windshields while operating motor vehicles. Other dashboard or friction mounting options should be used.
