Vehicle Docking Station
Vehicle Dock: The Sirius Satellite Radio Starmate 5 comes
supplied with a vehicle dock which allows you to listen to Sirius Satellite
Radio in your vehicle. The vehicle dock has color-coded connectors to assist you
in connecting the cables to the correct connector. The Sirius Satellite Radio
Starmate 5 Dock & Play receiver's vehicle dock provides three connection options
to transfer Sirius Satellite Radio audio to your vehicle's audio system.
- PowerConnect: The Sirius Satellite Radio Dock & Play receiver
comes supplied with the PowerConnect FM transmitter and cigarette lighter
adapter which allows the Sirius Satellite Radio receiver to wirelessly transmit
audio to your vehicle's in-dash headunit over and FM frequency. You can
choose from any FM frequency between: 88.1 and 107.9 MHz. You can store up
to 5 FM stations so you can quickly access the stations which give you the
best audio reception when using the PowerConnect. The PowerConnect FM
transmitter and cigarette lighter adapter simply plugs into the power port
of the included vehicle dock and the cigarette lighter or 12-volt accessory
port of your vehicle.
- Auxiliary: The Sirius Satellite Radio Dock & Play receiver's
vehicle dock has a minijack audio output (3.5mm) to connect the unit
directly to your in-dash headunit's auxiliary input (if applicable), using
the supplied stereo minijack cable. When using the line output jack, you can
adjust the level to match your headunit's other sources.
- FM Direct (optional): The FM Direct Adaptor (607FMDA25,
sold separately) connects directly in-line with your vehicle's existing
AM/FM antenna input (motorola) and the Sirius Satellite receiver's vehicle dock
FM output (2.5mm). This optimizes the Sirius receiver's built-in FM modulator to
your vehicle's radio, especially in regions with a high density of FM radio
stations and few open FM channels.
Antenna: The low-profile Sirius antenna has a powerful
magnetic base that allows you to mount the antenna on the roof or trunk lid of
your vehicle. The antenna needs to be positioned in such a way that it will be
free of mechanical and line-of-sight obstructions.
Note: The attached micro-cable has a single SMB
connector, which plugs into the vehicle dock.
Mounting: The mounting location of the Starmate 5 should be easily
accessible for controlling the unit and provide good visibility of the unit's
display, and should not be located where it will be in direct sunlight, which
will affect the visibility of the display screen. The Sirius Satellite Radio Sportster
5Receiver

self-adhesive plastic mount which allows you to place the unit on your
vehicle's dash. The self-adhesive dash-mount allows you to swivel and adjust

which allows to you to clip the unit onto one of your vehicle's dash vents.

sold separately) allows you to listen to Sirius Satellite Radio in your home.
