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
cannot hear the preview channel, please check the installation instructions to make sure your
SiriusXM Connect tuner is properly installed.
After you can hear the preview channel, tune to Channel 0 to find the Radio ID of your tuner. In

subscription plan. Note, the activation process usually takes 10 to 15 minutes, but may take up to
