Make sure the installation location is  
clean and dry. 

To install the antenna tail, place it against the antenna and 
route cable into the cable channel. Take the tail adhesive 
and remove the backing from one side. Place firmly onto 
the back of the tail over the routed cable. Then, remove 
the backing from the other side of the adhesive.   

Place the SIR-Mini with tail on your roof or trunk in the 
predetermined antenna location 

and press down firmly to secure antenna tail.

Route the antenna cable to the SIRIUS receiver. 
Avoid blocked passages and any obstructions that 
could kink, crimp, twist, or chafe the cable. If the 
antenna is located on your vehicle roof then it is 
necessary to push the cable under the rear window 
molding. 

Connect the SIR-Mini into the antenna input on the back 
of your SIRIUS receiver.

Please refer to your SIRIUS receiver owner’s manual 
to activate SIRIUS service and complete your SIRIUS 
system installation. 

The antenna has a magnetic base and must be installed on 
a conductive metal surface on the outside of the vehicle.

Position the antenna in such a way that it will be free of 
mechanical (i.e. an outward-opening moon roof) and 
line-of-sight obstructions such as roof racks, luggage boxes, 
etc. In these instances, consider positioning the antenna 
offset from the vehicle centerline.

Recommended installation locations are the roof of the 
vehicle above the rear window or on the top of the trunk 
near the rear window. (as shown in Fig.1)
