d. The cradle contains two mounting plates,  
one on the rear and one on the bottom.  
After deciding which configuration to use,  
loosen and remove two flat-head screws  
securing the plate to the cradle and remove  
the plate. Save the two screws for reassembly.  
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.

MOUNTING  
PLATE  
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

h. If the outside air temperature is cold, it may  
be beneficial to warm the adhesive backing  
on the base using a portable hair dryer, or  
by holding the backing surface in front of a  
vehicle heater vent.  
f. Insert the end of the ball strut into the keyed  
opening on the cradle mounting plate, and  
secure the plate to the ball strut using the  
flatwasher, lockwasher and flat-head screw  
through the back of the plate.  
i. Remove the plastic liner from the adhesive  
backing on the base, and fix the base in  
position on the surface; make sure the  
mounting pad is accurately positioned on  
the first try, since repositioning may be  
difficult, if not impossible.  
g. Reattach the mounting plate assembly to the  
rear or bottom of the cradle assembly, as  
desired, using the two flat-head screws  
removed previously. Installation of the mounting  
base can now continue.

4. Using Other Manufacturer’s Mounts  
NOTE: Allow a 72-hour period for the adhesive  
backing to cure completely.  
The Shuttle Cradle can also be installed using other  
manufacturer’s mounts; the mounting plate  
provisions on the rear and bottom of the cradle  
provide you with multiple mounting options within  
the vehicle using various vehicle-specific  
k. Using the star nut, attach the cradle assembly  
to the base threaded socket; do not overtighten  
the star nut.  
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  
aftermarket brackets, such as those purchased  
separately from Panavise, Pro-Fit, etc.  
mount in the kit. To do this, do not remove either of  
the mounting plate assemblies from the cradle.  
5. Installing the Shuttle into the Cradle  
a. Remove the 3/4” x 3” double-sided tape from  
the supplied kit.  
The Shuttle cradle has three retaining clips---one  
on top and two on the bottom. Place the Shuttle in  
the cradle so that the Shuttle connectors are lined  
up; use the SAT and TERR RF connectors as  
guides. Then gently press in on the bottom of the  
Shuttle to engage the connectors. The top clip will  
automatically engage; then slide the two bottom  
clips back into the locked position. Cradle  
orientation can be adjusted by loosening the star  
nut and then tightening it when the cradle is in the  
desired viewing position.  
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.  
d. Peel the backing from the exposed side of the  
tape and carefully position the cradle on the  
mounting surface, gently pressing the cradle  
into place.

(Part No. 112C3159) is available and provides a  
hard-wired FM output when connected to the FM OUT  
connector on the left 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 (88.1MHz, 88.3MHz,  
88.5MHz or 88.7MHz) with the slide switch, the Sirius  
signal received at the SAT (MAIN) or TERR. cradle  
antenna input can be played through your car radio  
when tuned to one of these frequencies.

6. Sirius Program Listening Options  
The Shuttle and Cradle provide an audio output  
signal in three manners:  
1. When using CK1 or CK2 cradle, the audio signal  
can be routed through an audio cable which is  
applied to the auxiliary inputs of a radio or  
entertainment system.  
2. When using the CK1 cradle, the audio signal can  
be transmitted to a car radio on one of four  
selectable FMfrequencies. The audio signal can  
then be played through your car radio when the  
car radio is tuned to one of these frequencies.  
3. Some listeners prefer to use a hard-wired FM  
transmitter. In this instance, when using the CK1  
cradle, an optional FM Switching Box assembly

7. Mounting the Vehicle Antenna  
The antenna should be placed on a relatively flat  
surface on the vehicle exterior, preferably on the  
roof (high point) or on the trunk (convertible). To  
mount the antenna:  
SHUTTLE  
(TYPICAL)  
a. Plug the antenna into the SAT. (MAIN) 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.

ANTENNA  
(TYPICAL)  
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 SAT (MAIN)  
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.
