Setting Up and Installing Your Kit
Installation/Wiring Precautions
NOTE: The SIRIUS® 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. 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.
1. Cabling Interconnections
2. Do not install the unit in the locations exposed to
direct sunlight or, in areas subject to extreme
temperatures.
You can begin to enjoy Sirius® Satellite Radio as
soon as the Shuttle and Vehicle Kit installation
are complete. Set up your Audiovox Shuttle using
the following installation instructions, or enlist the
help of a professional installer:
3. Incorrect installation may cause damage to the
system. Mount the unit firmly in place, using
the supplied hardware.
2. Installing the Cradle Mount Base Assembly
4. Be careful not to damage the vehicle wiring.
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.
5. Be sure to use the supplied screws and washers.
6. Be careful not to snag any wires when tightening
screws.

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/casette
operational displays.
d. The cradle contains a rear mounting plate
After deciding the mounting configuration,
loosen and remove two flat-head screws
securing the plate to the cradle and remove
the plate. Save the two screws for reassembly.
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.

backing to cure completely.
3. Installing the Cradle Using Double-Sided Tape
You can mount the cradle directly to your dashboard
or other flat surface without using the cradle
mount in the kit. To do this, do not remove the
mounting plate assembly from the cradle.
4. Using Other Manufacturer’s Mounts
The Shuttle Cradle can also be installed using other
manufacturer’s mounts; the mounting plate
provisions on the rear or bottom of the cradle provide
you with multiple mounting options within the
vehicle using various vehicle-specific aftermarket
brackets, such as those purchased separately from
Panavise, Pro-Fit, etc.
a. Remove the 3/4” x 3” double-sided tape from
the supplied kit.
b. Determine the location of the cradle, and clean
the mounting surface as before.
c. Peel the backing from one side of the tape, and
press the tape in place on the rear or bottom
cradle mounting plate.
5. Installing the Shuttle into the Cradle
Install the shuttle as follows:
a. Carefully line up the shuttle rear spine grooves
with the cradle guide spines; slide the latch tab
lever to the unlock ( ) position, and lower the
shuttle into the cradle.

c. Slide the latch tab lever to the lock ( ) position;
the tab will enter the shuttle latching tab recess
to prevent vertical movement. The shuttle
should now be nestled securely in the cradle.

6. Sirius Program Listening Options
The Shuttle and Cradle provide an audio output
signal in three manners:
Sirius signal received at the ANT cradle
antenna input can be played through your car
radio when tuned to one of these fequencies.
1. When using the SIR-CK3 cradle with the FM
switching box option, the audio signal can
be transmitted to a car radio on one of over 100
selectable FM frequencies using the menu
options included in your PNP3 shuttle. (Refer
to the shuttle owner’s manual.) The audio signal
can then be played through your car radio when
the car radio is tuned to one of these
frequencies.
3. When using the SIR-CK3 cradle without the FM
switching box option, 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.

(REAR VIEW)
2. In this instance, use of a hard-wired FM
transmitter, such as the optional FM
Switching Box assembly (Part No. SAT-SWB)
is available and provides a hard-wired FM
output when connected to the FM OUT
TO CAR RADIO
ANTENNA INPUT
connector on the left rear side 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 (87.9MHz -107.9MHz) using
the shuttle FM Transmitter Option menu, the

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 Shuttle 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. This is the desired antenna position
and should be marked with masking tape or by
another non-scratch method.
d. After determining the optimum position, turn off
Shuttle 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
Shuttle RF input. 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.
ANTENNA
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
Sirius 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.

i. Plug the antenna cable into the ANT
connector on the back of the cradle; then plug
the cigarette lighter adapter into the lighter
receptacle. The integral power LED of the
power button ( ) will light red.
j. You are now ready to enjoy Sirius programming
within your vehicle.
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.
