How To Find Available FM Channels In Your Area
An available FM channel is one that is not being used by an FM radio station
in your area. When you tune your FM radio to an available channel, you should
only hear static or silence – not talk or music. Once you have found an available
channel, you need to tune your Satellite Radio’s built-in transmitter to the same
channel to receive XM sound through your vehicle’s radio.
We recommend one of the following methods to find an available FM channel:
1 Use the SIRIUS | XM FM Channel Finder
Use the SIRIUS | XM FM Channel Finder at www.xmradio.com/
fmchannel. Go to the website and enter your zip code. The Channel
Finder will suggest a list of available FM channels in your area. For
convenience, write down or print out the list.
Now, tune your Satellite Radio to a favorite XM channel (or to channel
1, if it’s not yet activated). Turn on your vehicle’s FM radio. Pick the first
FM channel on your Channel Finder list and tune the FM radio to that
channel. If you do not hear a local FM station broadcast, then tune your
Satellite Radio to the same FM channel. (Consult your Satellite Radio’s
User Guide if you are unsure how to tune it to the same FM channel.)
You should hear the XM channel through your vehicle’s radio. If you are
satisfied with the sound quality, you’re done! If this FM channel doesn’t
work well for you, work down the Channel Finder list until you find an
FM channel that allows you to hear XM clearly.
