The SXV200V1 kit includes the following:

Magnetic Mount Antenna

SXV200 Vehicle Tuner

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 clicking on the XM Vehicle Installation link.

•  Locate 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 fibre.

• 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
If you are installing the antenna at the edge of the roof or hood, install the 

Antenna Cable Routing Adapter to direct the 

cable downward. Place the antenna cable 

into the groove of the adapter and slide the 

adapter down the cable until the adapter is 

flush with the bottom of the antenna.
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 headunit 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.

You’ll need to access the back of the SiriusXM-Ready headunit so you can 

plug the SXV200 Vehicle Tuner into it. This may require you to remove 

the headunit from the dashboard. If you are uncomfortable with this step, 

consult a professional installer.
Be sure to turn OFF the SiriusXM-Ready headunit before connecting the 

SXV200 Vehicle Tuner. Locate the SiriusXM connector on the headunit and 

connect the SXV200. The headunit may have a panel mount type connector, 

or it may have a pigtail type connector. 

Plug the Magnetic Mount Antenna 

into the SXV200 Vehicle Tuner. 

Secure the SXV200 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.

Reinstall the vehicle headunit if it had been removed from the dashboard. 

Once the SXV200 Vehicle Tuner begins receiving the satellite signal, a 

courtesy period is initiated that allows you to tune to channels and listen to 

SiriusXM Radio programming for up to 5 days.
