                                   Re:     FCC ID: NKRUPASV305

Dear Sir or Madam:

This application requests approval of a Class II permissive change in the antenna system for the
above—referenced device, to allow for the use of the Sirius XM PowerConnect dock identified in the
test report accompanying the application. Unlike the original antenna approved for use with this
device, the PowerConnect dock feeds a modulated FM broadcast signal through the cigarette
lighter adapter (iFMCLA) into the wiring harness of the automobile from which the signal is then
radiated to the FM broadcast receiverin the automobile. If an FM coupling device is used with this
PowerConnect dock, e.g. an FEA, the FM broadcast signalis re—routed through the ‘FM Out‘ port
of the device preventing any FM signal from passing through the automobile‘s wiring harness.
Therefore, the iFMCLA application concept cannot simultanceously work with any external FM
coupling device. The PowerConnect dock will greatly facilitate the installation of Sirius XM‘s
receivers in automobiles by simplifying the connections that a customer must make.

After consultation with the staff of the FCC Laboratory, the staff asked Sirius XM to review prior
test data for this device to determine the highest fundamental frequency previously measured
during in—situ measurements (i.e. the prior measurement that showed the least margin to the FCC
limit). As requested by FCC staff, these measurements were taken at the frequency of the worst
case in—situ tests and not the worst case table—top tests. This same frequency was then used to
perform in—situ tests on three different body sizes of automobiles using the PowerConnect dock
designed for the receiver, to verify that the device continues to meet the FCC limits set forth in
Section 15.239.


Respectfully,


w           itz
