Install Roady Xt

The Delphi Roady XT is a small, sleek plug-and-play receiver that is easy to integrate into both your car and your home. Since the receiver is designed to be mounted onto your air conditioner vent or dash, there's no difficult installation involved, and any Roady owner can take care of the installation himself. After making a few simple connections, you'll be enjoying satellite radio in your vehicle.


Instructions


Swivel Mount


1. Choose your mounting option. Roady XT comes with two vehicular mounting options: swivel mount and air conditioning vent mount. The swivel mount allows you to mount the receiver on a convenient place on your dash or windshield. It should not be mounted to leather.


2. Determine where you want to mount your Roady XT. The swivel mount uses strong adhesive, so make sure that you find a place that you'll be comfortable with. The swivel mount can be attached either vertically or horizontally.


3. Clean the mounting area on your car off with the included cleaning kit. If you don't have the kit, wipe it down with a wet paper towel or appropriate cleaner for the type of surface.


4. Take the paper off the swivel mount's adhesive back and press the adhesive down onto your mounting area firmly. Hold for at least 30 seconds.


5. Allow the mount to bond for a full day before putting the receiver on it, or it might get pulled off.


Air Conditioning Vent Mount


6. Locate a horizontal air conditioning vent that will hold the Roady XT and is convenient for the driver to reach.


7. Push the vent mount into the air conditioning vent so that it clicks into place, grabbing onto one of the vent vanes.


8. Push out the bottom support bracket of the mount so that it supports the vent mount.


Receiver Installation


9. For either of the vent mounts above, use the vehicle dock to attach the Roady XT. Push the bottom of the Roady XT into the mount.


10. Line the hook of the vent or swivel mount up with the notch on the Roady XT dock. Push the receiver downward into place so that the dock locks into the mount.


11. Connect your antenna. The antenna is magnetic and should go on the middle of your car roof, 6 inches from any window or sunroof. Run the wire down your roof, into the edge of your car door, along the gasket of your car door, onto the dash and to your Roady XT. Make sure that the wire is secure and out of the way of the driver.


12. Plug the antenna into the antenna jack on the Roady XT.


13. Plug the 12V power adaptor into the Roady XT power jack and into your vehicle's 12V power supply.


14. Connect the tape-deck adapter to the audio output on your Roady XT and put the tape into your tape deck. The tape deck adaptor will provide the best quality audio. Alternately you could purchase an FM direct adaptor or use the wireless FM adaptor by placing the XM antenna close to your vehicle's FM antenna and then tuning both the XM radio and FM car radio to the same frequency.
