Connecting the Starmate ST5 to Your Vehicle’s
Audio System
There are two ways to connect your SIRIUS Starmate ST5 to your vehicle’s audio system:
Direct Connection or Wireless Connection. Which one will perform best in your vehicle
depends on your vehicle’s audio system. For the latest information go to

Direct Wired Audio Connection
If your vehicle’s audio system has an “AUX IN” or “LINE IN” jack it is the best-quality audio
connection you can use for your SIRIUS radio. (And if the A
UX IN or LINE IN connector is
located somewhere on the front of your vehicle radio or elsewhere in the cabin, this is
also the easiest way to connect your SIRIUS receiver.)
1. Purchase an audio cable that matches the connection type of your vehicle’s audio
system and your SIRIUS Vehicle Dock at your local electronics retailer.
• The Vehicle Dock requires a male
1
/
8
” stereo connector.
2. Plug the cable’s male
1
/
8
” stereo connector into the AUDIO jack on the left side of the
Vehicle Dock. Plug the other end into the A
UX IN/LINE IN connector on your vehicle’s
audio system (see
Figure 22
).
