Tune Onyx to a favorite XM channel (or to channel 1, if it’s not activated).
Pick the first FM channel on your list and tune the FM radio to that channel.
Then tune Onyx to the same FM channel. (Refer to “Set and Select an FM
Channel” on page 59.) 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 list until you find
an FM channel that allows you to hear XM clearly.
NOTE! You may find an FM channel with static or silence that does not work with
Onyx. It is possible that some type of inaudible interference is present that
prevents reception of the XM broadcast. Your only options are to use another FM
channel or a different audio connection method.
TIP! If you regularly drive from one location to another, such as your daily
commute, you may need to use different FM channels along your route for best
performance. If this is the case, we recommend saving the best FM channels as
presets on your FM radio and Onyx. Then you simply select and match the best
channel for the area you are in.
TIP! It will be much more difficult to find available FM channels in large cities
than in most suburban or rural locations. A direct audio connection using the
Aux In Cable, Cassette Adapter, or professional installation is your best solution
if you drive in or near large metropolitan areas.
NOTE! The SiriusXM FM Channel Finder relies on data from the Federal
Communications Commission. The data may not reflect the latest stations in
your area. In addition, local geography and weather conditions can impact
reception, so your results may be different from the list.
NOTE! The performance of FM radios are different, based on manufacturer and
vehicle style. Some may not work well with the type of FM transmitter used by
Onyx. This is why we recommend a direct audio connection using the Aux In
Cable or Cassette Adapter if they can be used in your vehicle. Professional
installation can also resolve almost any performance issue.
