To activate your SiriusXM radio, the process is straightforward and can be done quickly. Here’s a general guide on how to activate your SiriusXM service:
- Find Your ESN/RadioID:
- Every satellite radio has a unique ESN/RadioID needed for setting up your account.
- For most radios, you can find this number by tuning to channel 0.
- If it doesn’t display on channel 0, use the “Menu” function of your radio (refer to your radio’s manual for specific instructions).
- Activate Your Radio:
- Visit the SiriusXM website and go to the radio activation section.
- Enter your ESN/RadioID.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the activation.
- Select a Subscription Plan:
- SiriusXM offers various plans, including inside the car, outside the car, and both. Choose a plan that suits your listening preferences.
- You can compare all available packages on the SiriusXM website.
- For New Vehicles:
- If you’ve purchased a new vehicle with factory-installed SiriusXM, your trial should be active at the time of purchase.
- If your radio isn’t on or not receiving all the appropriate channels, you may need to request a refresh signal.
- For Existing Vehicles:
- For vehicles already equipped with Sirius or XM radios, you can use your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) for the ESN/RadioID.
- SiriusXM’s website offers a VIN lookup tool for this purpose.
- Manage Your Account:
- Once activated, you can manage your subscription, make payments, view your bill, and more through the SiriusXM website.
- Customer Support:
- If you need further assistance, SiriusXM’s customer support is available to help with the activation process, troubleshooting, or any other queries.
For specific details and step-by-step instructions, visit SiriusXM’s official website or their help and support center. Remember, the letters I, O, S, and F are not used in the ESN/RadioID.
