What is SIRIUS Traffic?

Navigational traffic information for 22 major metropolitan areas* in the continental US. SIRIUS Traffic conveys navigational traffic information for visual display on a compatible navigation system. Using a navigation system (such as the Alpine NVE-N872A), traffic data from SIRIUS is displayed either superimposed on a navigation map, or in a list type format displayed on the navigation screen. The data provides traffic speed and flow information as well as scheduled and unscheduled incidents, alerting you to congestion, accidents, road construction, detours, and other traffic related information as you drive. The navigation systems touch and voice recognition controls can provide easy access to detailed information. The SIRIUS Traffic data is updated frequently enabling you to be up-to-date regarding traffic situations. Based on the information from SIRIUS Traffic, the navigation system can then plan alternate routes before you get caught in traffic, and if you make a wrong turn, the system can recalculate your route and get you back on track in seconds.
* Metropolitan areas for which the SIRIUS Traffic service is available as of November 2005 are: Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Dallas /Ft. Worth, Detroit, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami/Ft. Lauderdale, Minneapolis/St. Paul, New York City, Orlando, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Pittsburgh, San Francisco/Oakland, San Diego, San Jose, Seattle, St. Louis, Tampa, and Washington, DC. Additional cities are expected to be added as they become available.

Installation

It is recommended that prior to starting the installation, you read completely this installation manual and follow the guidelines listed below: Consider the mounting location carefully. You should make sure that you avoid the following: Any location where the tuner is exposed to moisture. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.

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.

Antenna Cable Cover/Tail

Caution: If you are attaching the tuner directly to the vehicles 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.

Vehicle

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. 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 antennas 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. Route the cable from the antenna to the vehicles 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. 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. From the trunk, carefully route the cable to the location of the SIR-ALP10T and plug the SMB connector into the tuner.
