Your
SIRIUS radio contains an FM transmitter that allows it to operate
wirelessly through your car FM radio. We have determined that the
output of this transmitter exceeds the limits established by the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC). As a result, the unit may
interfere with the performance of radios operating in areas adjacent to
your radio. There are no health or safety concerns associated with this issue.

• If
  you listen to your SIRIUS radio wirelessly through your vehicle’s FM
  radio, then please review the solutions listed below and select the one
  that works best for you. SIRIUS will provide you the best solution at
  no cost.

• If you use your SIRIUS radio only
  when docked in a boombox, or directly connected to your car radio or
  home stereo using audio cables or a cassette tape adapter, then no
  interference can occur and no further action is required, provided you
  have turned off your FM transmitter. To turn off the FM transmitter,
  first press the MENU button. Use the channel up/down buttons to
  highlight “FM Transmitter” and push the SELECT button. Use the channel
  up/down buttons to highlight the “FM On/Off” menu item and then press
  the SELECT button. Use the up/down buttons to highlight “FM Off” and
  press the SELECT button. To exit the “FM On/Off” menu, press the MENU
  button. Use the same procedure to turn off the FM transmitter if you use Solution 1 or Solution 2 below..

Solution 1 - Direct Wired Audio Connection:
If your vehicle radio has a “LINE IN” or “AUX IN” jack, you can use a
stereo cable to connect directly to your SIRIUS radio. This solution
is the easiest to install and provides the best audio performance.
Many newer vehicles provide the required audio input jack. It will
normally be found on or near the front faceplate of your vehicle’s
radio.

Solution 2 - Cassette Tape Adapter:
If your vehicle has a cassette tape player, you can use a cassette
adapter that allows you to play your SIRIUS radio through the cassette
portion of your vehicle radio. The adapter slips into your vehicle
radio as easily as a cassette tape and provides better performance than
a wireless connection.

Solution 3 - FM Extender Cable Kit:
An FM extender cable will provide a special transmitter antenna that
allows you obtain the best audio performance through your vehicle’s FM
radio. This solution is easy to self-install, but does require that an
easy-to-hide wire be run in your vehicle so the transmitter antenna can
be placed in close proximity to your vehicle’s radio antenna. Using
this FM Extender Cable Kit, you will continue to use your SIRIUS radio
exactly the same way as you do currently.

Solution 4 - FM Direct Adapter with Professional Installation:
An FM Direct Adapter provides a wired connection between your SIRIUS
radio and your vehicle’s radio. You will continue to listen to your
SIRIUS radio through the FM tuner of your car radio, but the FM Direct
Adapter eliminates the outside static and interference you sometimes
experience when using a wireless FM connection. This solution usually
requires professional installation. We will provide a certificate
redeemable for installation at an installation center in your area.
