You  will  need  a  major  credit  card.  XM  will  send  a  signal  from  the 
satellites to activate the full channel lineup. Activation normally takes 
10 to 15 minutes, but during peak busy periods you may need to keep 
your XM Ready home audio system on for up to an hour. When you 
can access the full lineup on your XM Ready home audio system you 
are done.
