9.1 Subscribing to SiriusXM Satellite Radio
To subscribe to the SiriusXM Satellite Radio service, follow these steps:
1. After installing your SiriusXM Connect Vehicle Tuner and antenna, power on
your radio and select SiriusXM mode. You should be able to hear the SiriusXM
preview channel on Channel 1. If you don’t hear the Preview channel, make sure
your tuner is installed correctly as described in the tuner Installation Guide.
2. After you can hear the Preview channel, tune to Channel 0 to find the Radio ID
of your tuner.
You will need this number to activate your subscription. Write the number down for
reference.
Note that the SiriusXM Radio ID does not include the letters I, O, S or F.
3.With the radio still turned on, the next step is to activate your service by:
a. visiting the www.siriusxm.com website and click on ACTIVATE RADIO or
b. calling SiriusXM Listener Care at 1-866-635-2349.
As part of the activation process, the SiriusXM satellites will send an activation
message to your tuner. When your radio detects that the tuner has received the
activation message, your radio will display: “Subscription Updated”. Once
subscribed, you can tune to channels in your subscription plan. Note, the activation
process usually takes 10 to 15 minutes, but may take up to an hour. Your radio will
need to be powered on and receiving the SiriusXM signal to receive the activation
message.
