Direct Connect
For vehicles with radio head-units equipped with auxiliary audio inputs,
connecting the audio directly to the auxiliary inputs of the head-unit (in a
limited number of vehicles and aftermarket head units these inputs are locat-
ed on the dash) provides maximum audio quality.
Cassette Adaptor
For vehicles with a built-in cassette player, using the cassette adaptor for audio
is the most popular solution. Due to its superior audio quality, this configuration
is recommended over the wireless or wired FM modulator configurations for
vehicles equipped with a cassette player.
FM Modulator
For a more professional-looking installation, or if the wireless FM modulator
does not provide satisfactory performance in your vehicle, an additional instal-
lation kit that will connect Roady2 and internal FM modulator directly to your
retailer for details.
Wireless FM Modulator
Many late model cars do not come with built-in cassette players. For these
cars, Roady2 includes an integrated wireless FM modulator that rebroadcasts
19
the XM audio signal wirelessly to the vehicle’s FM radio. This FM modulator
is automatically turned on whenever the cassette adaptor (or other audio jack)
is unplugged from the side of the Roady2. One of 12 different frequencies can
be selected, as described on page 12. In order to ensure optimum perform-
ance, the signal is broadcast to your car’s FM radio from both inside the
Roady2, and from the included XM antenna.
Roady2 Installation
Your Roady2 can be installed as follows:
1. First, attach all of the components as shown in figure 5 (page 17). Insert the
12V power adaptor into the cigarette lighter, and place the antenna on the
car’s roof. Turn on the car and Roady2 and insert the cassette audio adaptor
into the vehicle’s cassette deck (preferred) or, if the vehicle does not have a
cassette deck, find an open FM frequency and tune both the Roady2 FM
modulator and the vehicle’s FM radio to that frequency, as described on page
12. Verify that the system is working by tuning to Channel 1. If you are using
the wireless FM modulator feature, and static is heard on all frequencies,
change to a hard wired FM modulator configuration by using the optional
FM Modulator Direct Wiring Adapter described in the Available Accessories
section on page 29. Disassemble the system, and proceed with step 2.
2. Identify a hard, flat surface or an available vent within your car to allow the
optimum Roady2 viewing position for the primary
user as well as access to the cassette player, power
source, and antenna-cable route. In order to maximize

(a) Flat mount: Use the included Velcro pads and attach them to both the
back of Roady2 and the identified flat surface in your vehicle.
(b) Vent mount: Your Roady2 kit includes an optional
vent mount that can be used in place of the more
®
permanent Velcro or swivel mounts so you can
easily move your Roady2 and mount from car to
car. Assemble the mount by inserting the two
clips into the main piece, clipping them onto the
vent, and then positioning the pivoting kickstand

at the bottom, as shown in figure 6. Be careful
when applying and removing the vent mount clips to prevent damaging
the vent fins.
(c) Swivel mount: This mount gives you the ability to adjust the angle of your
Roady2 after it is installed. This mount uses a strong adhesive that is not
easily repositioned when installed, so please use care when choosing the
location and placing the mount. In addition, do not install this mount on a
leather surface.
(i) Clean the vehicle mounting surface with the enclosed surface prepara-
tion cleaning kit. Wipe with the towelette in only one direction. Do not
wipe the surface in a circular motion or back and forth. Dry area with a
clean, dry cloth. Wipe dry in the same direction again and then repeat
this cleaning process. Allow to air dry thoroughly to ensure effective
adhesion.
(ii) Clean the same surface with the enclosed alcohol prep pad. Wipe in
the same direction and manner as with the towelette. Dry the area
with a clean, dry cloth, wiping in one direction. Allow to air dry thor-
oughly. Ensure that the surface is at least 60°F.
(iii) Warm the car mount adhesive pad by using a hair dryer or by placing
the car mount on top of the vehicle’s defrost outlet for several minutes
with the heater on. Remove the liner from the adhesive pad and
21
adhere to the vehicle’s surface. Make sure you accurately place the pad
on the first try since in many cases it will bond almost immediately. 3M
recommends a 72-hour curing time for maximum adhesion.
3. Clip the Roady2 onto the swivel or vent
mount (figure 7).

dashboard
4. Reassemble the system as in step 1,
inserting cassette audio adaptor
into the vehicle’s cassette deck and the
12V power adaptor into the cigarette lighter.
5. Attach the antenna as explained on page 22
and route the antenna cable as described
on page 24.
Figure 7. Attach car mount to back of
Roady2 as shown.
Removing swivel mount from your
dashboard
You can remove the swivel mount from your dashboard by taking the
following steps:
1. Lift one edge of the adhesive pad gently with fingers or the rounded edge
of a spoon. Once enough of the edge is loosened to grip with your fingers,
pull the pad gently from the mounting surface at a 90-degree angle. Avoid
using sharp tools that could damage the vehicle’s interior.
2. If the pad fails to loosen, first warm it with a hair dryer for 2 to 3 minutes
to soften the adhesive. Be careful not to apply too much heat, which could
damage the mounting surface.
3. If any adhesive remains on the dashboard surface, the adhesive can easily
be removed by rubbing your thumb or
finger across it.
4. As necessary, use a mild household cleaner
to clean the dashboard surface.
Caution: Never use a commercial heat
gun or paint-stripping gun. This could result in
damage to the unit or to your vehicle.

XM Antenna Set-up
Antenna Installation
• Best reception is achieved with the antenna mounted on the metal surface
of the vehicle roof in the center of an area with at least 12" x 12" of surface
area and a minimum of 6" from a window or sunroof. Figure 8 shows three
typical mounting locations.
• For optimum wireless FM reception, the XM antenna should be placed in a
location close to the vehicle’s FM radio antenna. Note that in some vehicles the
FM antenna is embedded in the front windshield or rear window.
• If the vehicle has roof racks or skid ribs, it may be necessary to mount the
antenna off-center.
• If the vehicle roof does not provide a sufficient metal surface area, then the
antenna can be mounted on the metal trunk lid at least 4" from the rear window.
• If an appropriate antenna mounting location cannot be identified, contact
your local retailer installation department for additional guidance.
Rear
Important: Do not install antenna inside

mounting on many types of vehicles. Trunk mount-
ing of the antenna is an alternative only for hard-
or soft-top convertibles with nonmetallic rooftops.
All other vehicles should have roof mounting.
23
Cable Routing
• Once you have mounted the antenna in the correct location, plan how
to route the cable from this location to the receiver, avoiding blocked
passages and any obstructions that could kink, crimp, twist, or chafe the
cable. Figure 9 shows typical routing configurations. If the cable will
come into contact with a rough metal opening, use a rubber grommet
to prevent damage.
• For antenna mounting locations at the front or middle of the roof, the
cable can be routed down along the door jamb and into the vehicle. In
some vehicles, the cable may be brought into the vehicle through the

Taking Care of Your Roady2
(Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury or
damage to your Roady2 or to your vehicle.)
Important:
• Use only a soft, dry cloth to clean the outside of your Roady2 and any
peripherals.
• Do not use any solvents, chemicals, or cleaning solutions containing
alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives.
• Do not allow liquids to spill on the unit.
• Do not use sprays near your Roady2.
• It is best to keep Roady2 out of direct sunlight or other sources of
extreme heat.
• Avoid placing Roady2 in a setting where air cannot circulate around
the unit.
Caution: Refrain from using food or drinks near the Roady2.
Spilling food or drinks on the unit could damage it. Also improper
antenna cable installation can cause a leak which could result in
damage to your Roady2 and/or your vehicle.
26
Troubleshooting
Your Roady2 is designed and built to provide you with trouble-free
performance without the need for service. If it does not appear to be
functioning correctly, please follow these troubleshooting steps:
1. Make sure all connectors are properly attached.
2. Make sure the cigarette lighter/auxiliary power socket is clean and free of
corrosion.
3. Make sure the adaptor is firmly seated in the cigarette lighter/
auxiliary power socket.
4. Check the adaptor fuse by unscrewing the ribbed end of the adaptor
and examining it. If required, replace with a 1-amp fuse only. If your
cigarette lighter adaptor does not have a removable end cap, then it is
equipped with an internal fuse that resets itself after it is left unpowered
for a period of time.
