Installation/Wiring Precautions  
Setting Up and Installing Your Kit  
1. To prevent a short-circuit, be sure to turn off the  
ignition and remove the negative (-) battery cable  
prior to installation. Connect power wires last.  
2. Do not install the unit in the locations exposed to  
direct sunlight or, in areas subject to extreme  
temperatures.  
NOTE: The XM signal can be received and processed  
virtually anywhere as long as there are no  
obvious satellite signal obstructions such as  
nearby buildings, high terrain, parking garages  
or tunnels.  
1. Cabling Interconnections  
3. Incorrect installation may cause damage to the  
system. Mount the unit firmly in place, using  
the supplied hardware.  
4. Be careful not to damage the vehicle wiring.  
5. Be sure to use the supplied screws and washers.  
6. Be careful not to snag any wires when tightening  
screws.  
You can begin to enjoy XM™ Satellite Radio as  
soon as the XR9 and Vehicle Kit installation  
are complete. Set up your Audiovox XC9 using  
the following installation instructions, or enlist the  
help of a professional installer:  
7. Use only the 12 Volt-to-6 Volt DC Power Adapter  
supplied. Use of an alternative power adapter may  
damage the XR9 unit and/or the XC9 cradle.  
2. Installing the Cradle Mount Base Assembly  
a. Interconnect all of the components as shown  
on the adjacent page to verify that the system  
operates normally.  
b. Locate a firm, reasonably flat surface within your  
car to permit optimum viewing and line-of-sight  
access by the supplied remote control unit.  
CAUTION: You could drain the vehicle battery if  
the cigarette lighter adapter remains  
plugged in after the ignition is turned  
off. Unplug the adapter to prevent  
this possibility.

d. If the outside air temperature is cold, it may  
be beneficial to warm the adhesive backing  
on the base using a portable hair dryer, or  
by holding the backing surface in front of a  
vehicle heater vent.  
CAUTION:  
Do not install the mounting base  
on a leather or fabric surface, or  
in a position that could impair  
your vision, block air bag(s) or  
obstruct vehicle dashboard  
controls and/or radio CD/  
e. Remove the plastic liner from the adhesive  
backing on the base, and fix the base in  
position on the surface; make sure the

NOTE: The adhesive backing on the base  
will not permit easy repositioning once  
it has been mated to the surface; use  
extreme care and planning when  
selecting the mounting location. If the  
base is to be screwed to the surface,  
make sure the area in back of the  
mounting surface is clear of wires or  
other items to prevent unintentional  
damage.  
f. If the mount is to be screwed in place, do  
not remove the plastic liner from the  
adhesive backing. Use appropriate sheet  
metal or machine screws for this purpose.  
g. To mount the XR9 atop the swivel base, line up  
the slot at the rear of the XC9 cradle with the  
base retainer tab, and slide the cradle down  
so that the slot and tab mesh together in a  
lock position.  
c. Using the alcohol swab supplied with your kit,  
clean the mounting surface and thoroughly wipe  
the area dry with a clean lint-free cloth.

menu, the XM signal received at the ANT cradle  
antenna input can be played through your car  
radio when tuned to one of these fequencies.  
6. Connection Options  
The XR9 and Cradle provide an audio output  
signal in three ways:  
1. FM Wireless Transmitter - When using the XC9  
cradle with the wireless FM transmitter option,  
the XM audio signal can be received at your car  
radio on selectable FM frequencies using the  
menu options included in your XR9. (Refer to  
the XR9 owner’s manual.) The XM audio signal  
can then be played through your car radio when  
the car radio is tuned to one of the available  
frequencies.  
3. Low-Level Audio Output - For vehicles  
equipped with radio head units with auxiliary  
audio inputs, the audio signal can be routed  
through an optional audio cable (Part No. SAT-  
RCA) and applied to the auxiliary inputs of a  
radio or entertainment system. In this case, it is  
best to turn the XR9 FM modulator option off to  
avoid interference.  
XC9 CRADLE  
(REAR VIEW)  
2. FM Direct Wiring - If the FM wireless transmitter  
does not provide satisfactory performance in  
your vehicle, use the optional FM Switching Box  
assembly (Part No. SAT-SWB) which provides  
a hard-wired FM output. Connect the switching  
box to the FM OUT connector on the rear of the  
cradle; the other end of the switching box plugs  
into the antenna jack of your radio. By using  
this assembly, and selecting the appropriate  
FM output frequency (88.1MHz -107.9MHz)

a. Plug the antenna into the ANT connector  
on the back of the cradle.  
b. Place the antenna at the preferred location on  
the roof or trunk surface. If the vehicle is  
equipped with a roof or trunk rack, the antenna  
may have to be mounted off-center on the  
surface. The magnet will secure the antenna in  
the desired position.

c. Apply power to the XR9 system as outlined  
in the associated User Guide and obtain an  
audio output. If no audio is heard, first check  
the signal strength indicator located on the  
bottom left corner of the display to ensure the  
antenna is receiving an optimum signal. If  
necessary, move the antenna to different  
positions on the surface until an audio output  
is heard. The desired antenna position  
should be marked with masking tape or by  
another non-scratch method.  
d. After determining the optimum position, turn off  
XR9 power, disconnect the power adapter from  
the vehicle cigarette lighter receptacle and  
disconnect the antenna cable.

e. Plan the routing of the antenna cable to the  
cradle. Make sure you avoid any obstructions  
that could crimp, kink or twist the cable; use  
protective grommets wherever rough openings  
are encountered.  
f. Route the cable from the antenna position to  
the interior of the vehicle, working the cable  
under the rear window molding; make  
adjustments and take up slack whenever  
necessary.

g. At the lowest point of the rear window, route the  
cable into the trunk, taking advantage of existing  
cable conduits. Then snake the cable around  
the passenger compartment to the back of the  
XC9 cradle.  
ROUTING  
THE CABLE  
h. In SUV’s, minivans, etc., route the cable into the  
vehicle under the rubber molding of the hatch  
door or tailgate, and then under the interior trim.  
NOTE: Avoid exposing the cable in the driver  
and passenger areas where it could  
become entangled in feet or other  
objects.
