SiriusXM SXV300V1 Satellite Radio Vehicle Tuner-Complete Features/Instruction Guide

The SiriusXM satellite radio vehicle tuner allows you to play, pause and rewind up to 60 minutes of live satellite radio. It will automatically start songs from the beginning on favorite channels with Tune Start. It comes in a compact size which can hide behind the dashboard for a fully integrated look. The installation of this satellite radio vehicle tuner is pretty simple as well. It has a single interface cable connection. This kit comes with everything you need to add Satellite Radio to your SiriusXM-Ready head unit. Consult your head unit User Guide for features and detailed operational instructions.

What’s In the Box?

The SXV300V1 kit includes the following:

Check Your Head unit For Compatibility

If your head unit has the official SiriusXM-Ready logo it is compatible with the SXV300 Vehicle Tuner. All SiriusXM-Ready head units include a dedicated connector, allowing for quick and easy connection of the SXV300 tuner.

Install the Magnetic Mount Antenna

Proper placement of the Magnetic Mount Antenna is very important. Consult a professional installer if you are uncomfortable with installing the antenna yourself. More detailed installation instructions and illustrations can be found at www.siriusxm.com/installation and by clicking on the XM Vehicle Installation link.

Place the Magnetic Mount Antenna on the outside of your vehicle on a horizontal surface that always faces the sky.

Avoid placing the antenna near obstacles that could block a clear view of the sky (such as roof racks, other antennas like AM/FM, cellular, and GPS), preventing the satellite signal from reaching the antenna.

Select the Best Location for the Magnetic Mount Antenna

For most vehicles the best location is on the roof, centered above the rear window or front windshield. Consult a professional installer to find an alternate antenna mounting location if your vehicle roof is made from a non-magnetic material such as aluminum, fiberglass, or carbon fiber.

Sedan or Coupe: Recommended mounting location is above the rear window or front windshield.

Pickup or SUV: Recommended mounting location is above the front windshield.
Convertible: Recommended mounting location is above the front windshield, or alternately on the trunk lid, on the front hood, or on top of the front fender.

Route the Antenna Cable

Use care when routing the antenna cable into and through the vehicle interior, avoiding sharp objects that can damage the cable. Keep the antenna cable away from moving parts such as gas and brake pedals, trunk and door hinges, and sliding seat brackets.

Hide the antenna wire inside the vehicle cabin by routing the cable under the carpet and behind plastic trim, toward the head unit location. Coil and secure any excess cable in a hidden location, such as under the carpet, using wire ties (not included).

CAUTION! Do not kink or sharply fold the antenna cable.

Make the Connections

You’ll need to access the back of the SiriusXM-Ready head unit so you can plug the SXV300 Vehicle Tuner into it. This may require you to remove the head unit from the dashboard. If you are uncomfortable with this step, consult a professional installer. Be sure to turn OFF the SiriusXM-Ready head unit before connecting the SXV300 Vehicle Tuner. Locate the SiriusXM connector on the head unit and connect the SXV300. The head unit may have a panel mount type connector, or it may have a pigtail type connector

Secure the Tuner

Secure the SXV300 Vehicle Tuner behind the vehicle headunit location or under the dash using wire ties (not included). Thread the wire ties through the molded brackets on the underside of the Tuner as shown. Then secure it to a bracket or wiring harness using the wire ties. Avoid brackets with sharp edges and any moving parts such as gas and brake pedals.

You can subscribe to the SiriusXM service anytime by following these steps:

1 Make sure your vehicle head unit is turned on and that Satellite Radio is selected. Verify that you are receiving the SiriusXM signal so that you can hear the SiriusXM audio.
