Installation
It is recommended that prior to starting the
installation, you read completely this
installation manual and follow the guidelines
listed below:
Installing the Antenna
The antenna includes a plastic cable cover/
tail which covers the exposed antenna
cable and keeps it attached securely to
vehicle roof. The tail also helps position the
antenna the proper distance from the rear
window, sunroof or rear hatch.
Consider the mounting location carefully.
You should make sure that you avoid the
following:
• Any location where the tuner is
exposed to moisture.
To attach the cover/tail:
1. Once you have determined the proper
mounting location (see the next
section), clean the area with the
supplied alcohol swab.
• Any location where the tuner is
exposed to extreme heat.
• Any location that would interfere with
moving parts on the vehicle or interfere
with driving.
2. Connect the antenna cover/tail to the
antenna cable, making sure that the
strain-relief on the antenna seats into
the cover/tail groove. Route the cable
through the wire channel in the cover/
tail.
Mounting the SIR-ALP10T Tuner
Be sure that you find a location that is flat
and has clearance above the tuner to
prevent any damage, as well as allow for
ventilation.
Antenna
(Underside)
Do not install the tuner under the carpet or
in a small enclosed area without proper
ventilation. Doing so can result in damage
to the tuner or the vehicle. Use the supplied
screws to securely fasten the unit.

3. Remove the protective tape from the
adhesive and carefully position the
antenna with cover/tail and apply
pressure to secure it to the vehicle.

Caution:
If you are attaching the tuner directly to the
vehicle’s chassis, be sure that you check to
make sure the area behind the tuner is free
from moving parts, fuel or brake lines, wire
harnesses or any other items which may
get damaged by drilling a mounting hole or
from the screws.

Optimum Antenna Mounting Locations
The optimum location to mount the antenna
is on the roof of the vehicle. It is important to
avoid any obstruction that will block the
satellite signal, such as a roof rack. For
convertible vehicles, install the antenna on
the trunk lid as shown.
Sedan/Coupe
SUV/Mini-Van
• Place the antenna on a metal surface
of your vehicle at least 12" x 12", and at
least 6" from a window. (Use the
antenna cover/tail as a guide for the
proper distance from the rear window.)
• The antenna’s magnet will secure it to
the metal surface. The adhesive that is
attached to the antenna cover/tail will
secure the cable to the vehicle. Before
routing the antenna cable, confirm that
the antenna is mounted in a suitable
location.
Truck
Convertible (only)
• Route the cable from the antenna to the
vehicle’s interior by tucking it
underneath the rubber molding around
the rear window, if possible.
• Route the cable from the lowest point
of the rear window into the trunk. Take
advantage of any existing cable
channels or wiring conduits.
Caution:
• Do not pull the wire across sharp
edges that could damage it.
• For SUVs, minivans and five-door
vehicles, bring the cable into the
vehicle under the rubber molding of the
tailgate, and continue under the interior
trim.
• Keep the wire away from areas where it
could become tangled in the driver’s
and passenger’s feet.
• Keep the antenna wire away from
extreme heat, such as exhaust systems.
• From the trunk, carefully route the
cable to the location of the
• Avoid placing the cable near any
moving parts.

Activating Your SIRIUS Subscriptions
channel update is completed.
You must activate the SIR-ALP10T before
you can start to receive the SIRIUS Satellite
Radio service and the SIRIUS Traffic
service. Each is a separate service, and
each needs to be activated individually.
NOTE: Don’t push any buttons or
perform any operations until
updating has been completed. Once
updated, and the SIRIUS channels are
being received, the display will change
to Channel 184, the SIRIUS Satellite
Radio’s Preview Channel. At this time
you should also be able to hear the
audio from the Preview Channel.
In order to activate your radio and traffic
subscriptions, you will need the two SIRIUS
IDs (SIDs) – one for the SIRIUS Satellite
Radio service and one for the SIRIUS Traffic
service – which uniquely identify your SIR-
ALP10T tuner. The SIDs may be found on
sticker located on the bottom of the SIR-
ALP10T packaging or on the bottom of the
unit itself.
4. Use the UP/DN buttons to select
channel “255” on the display.
5. Once tuned to channel 255, the
headunit will display “SIRIUS” in the
Category Name Field, “RADIO ID” in the
Channel Field, and theAudio SID in the
Artist and Song fields of the display.
Note: You may have to press the TITLE
button on theAlpine headunit to show
the Audio SID. Be sure that the headunit
is set toAuto Scroll the text. If not, you
may only see the first eight characters
of the SID. (See yourAlpine headunit
owners manual for more information.)
The label will have printed on it two 12-digit
SID numbers. The first will be the Data SID
for the SIRIUS Traffic service, for example,
“Data SID: 123456789012”. The second is
theAudio SID for the SIRIUS Radio service,
for example, “Audio SID: 987654321098”.
Note: It is possible to activate only the
audio or the traffic service, just use the
appropriate SID. When you have located
both SIDs, write them down in the space
provided on page 22 of this manual.
6. Copy the Audio SID to the space
provided on page 22 of this manual.
Obtaining the Audio SID from the
Alpine Headunit
If you do not have access to the SID
stickers on the packaging or on the product,
you can obtain the Audio SID using the
following method.
Obtaining the Data SID from the
Alpine NVE-N872A Navigation
System
1. Turn on theAlpine navigation system
and monitor/display.
1. Make sure that the SIR-ALP10T is
properly connected, and that the
antenna is oriented to receive the
SIRIUS satellite signal.
2. The navigation system will display a

your subscriptions.
5. When the Setup screen is displayed,
touch the Traffic Information selection,
or select it by tilting the joystick to
highlight it and press the ENTER
button. Note: If the Traffic Information
selection is grayed out and cannot be

according to the instructions in this
manual.
3. During the activation process, be sure
to tell the operator that have a receiver
on which you want to activate both a
SIRIUS Radio service subscription and
a SIRIUS Traffic service subscription.
Provide the operator with both theAudio
SID and the Data SID.
Once the subscription process is
completed, your audio and/or navigation
system is ready to use. Refer to the Alpine
headunit and/or navigation system owners
manuals for operation instructions.
