Protective Case Installa on Location
Before get ng started, it is important to select an install on local on for the protect ve case with the receiver and the strap mount antenna. It is also recommended to run the cables from your power source to the dock, before hooking up the wires to ensure the cables will reach the dock inside the protect ve case.
Step 1 – Install Clamp Mount (or Strap Mount)
Aer selecting the installation location for the protective case, loosen the
two screws on the handlebar clamp mount all the way out and separate it from
the backside of the clamp mount. Place the clamp mount on the handlebars, line
up the screw holes, and tighten the screws to mount the clamp. Use the
supplied rubber strips to increase the grip of the mount.
Step 2 – Connect Protec ve Case to Mount
After the clamp mount aches to the handlebar, take the protect ve case and
slide it over the dual T- notches on the back of the case with the T-notches
on the handlebar clamp mount. Secure the mount by tightening the lock ring on
the handlebar clamp (or strap) mount, located just behind the T-notch adapter.
Step 3 – Connect Power
Included in the package is a hardwired power adapter. Find a power source on the motorcycle, either in a fuse box or an auxiliary power source on the motorcycle. The hardwired power adapter comes with two interchangeable cables, one for older Sirius and XM receivers and one for newer PowerConnect receivers. For installed on with an older 5 volt Sirius or XM receiver (non PowerConnect), use the cable with the smaller connector p. To install using the supplied PowerConnect docking cradle, you will use the cable with the larger.
Step 4 – Connect Audio
Included in the kit is an auxiliary cable for audio. Connect the auxiliary cable to the aux input on the motorcycle sound system, headset, or another audio system. Run the auxiliary cable to the local on of the mount and leave the cable loose. We will connect it to the docking cradle in step 6.
Step 5 – Install Antenna
Each kit includes a satellite radio antenna and instruc ons for installing
that specific antenna. Follow the instruc ons included in the antenna kit
packaging. Be sure to select an install on local on as high up on the bike as
possible with a clear view of the sky while riding. An er the antenna is
installed, run the cable from the antenna to the case and leave the cable
loose. We will connect it to the docking cradle in step 6.
Step 6 – Connecting Docking Cradle
After all, cables have been run to the protecting ve case, feed the wires up
through the bo om of the case shown in the image on the right. Pull enough
cable through to allow for extra play in the wire in case a cable is pulled.
If there is extra antenna wire, it is recommended to wrap up the excess
antenna wire inside the protect ve case.
Next, connect each cable to the corresponding port on the dock. (Some docks
may have the connect ons on the sides and not the back as shown in the figure
to the right)
Note: If installing a Bluetooth SiriusXM Dock, only power and antenna are required. The FM port on the dock is not used unless installing the FMDA25 Direct Wire Audio Adapter.
After all connect ons have been made, slide the receiver down onto the dock
and power on the unit.
If installing a new SiriusXM receiver, follow the instruc ons on how to
activate the receiver provided in the receiver’s user guide. To learn more on
how to operate your specific Satellite Radio receiver, refer to the SiriusXM™
Radio user guide that came with the receiver.
Appendix A – Installing Without the Protective Case
For those who want to install the system without using the protective case and
just have the receiver mounted directly to the clamp or strap mount, we have
included an AMPS plate. To install the AMPS plate to the mount, unscrew the
lock ring on the clamp or strap mount and remove the dual T-notch. Place the
AMPS plate on the ball adapter joint and tighten the lock ring to secure the
plate to the mount. Next, using the supplied screws, connect the AMPS plate
directly to the back of the SiriusXM™ docking cradle via the four screw holes.
Follow the previous instruc ons to install the rest of the system.
Appendix B – Installing the RAM Adapter Plate to Case
Included in the kit is a 25mm RAM ball adapter plate. This allows the kit to be used with any 25mm RAM mount either connected to the protec ve case or directly to the SiriusXM™ docking cradle. To use the RAM adapter with the protec ve case, connect the make AMPS plate (shown below) to the back of the RAM adapter plate with the supplied screws. Next, slide the dual T-notch plate onto the back of the case (as shown in the figure below)
Appendix C – Installing the RAM Adapter Plate to Docking Cradle
For install ons using a RAM mount and not the protec ve case, use the supplied screws and connect the RAM adapter plate to the back of the SiriusXM™ docking cradle via the four screw holes. Once connected follow the instruc ons above to complete the connect ons to install the system.
