to the XM satellite radio service is also necessary.
(a) How to subscribe to an XM satellite radio
An XM satellite radio is a tuner designed exclusively to receive
broadcasts provided under a separate subscription.
Availability is limited to the 48 contiguous states.
How to subscribe:
You must enter into a separate service agreement with the XM
radio in order to receive satellite broadcast programming in the
vehicle. Additional activation and service subscription fees
apply that are not included in the purchase price of the vehicle
and optional digital satellite tuner. For complete information on
subscription rates and terms, or to subscribe to the XM radio,
visit XM on the web at www.xmradio.com
or call an XM’s
Listener Care at (800) 852 −9696. The XM radio is solely
responsible for the quality, availability and content of the
satellite radio services provided, which are subject to the terms
and conditions of the XM radio customer service agreement.
Customers should have their radio ID ready; the radio ID can
be found by tuning to “channel 000” on the radio. For details,
see “Displaying the radio ID” below.
All fees and programming are the responsibility of the XM
satellite radio and are subject to change. Satellite tuner technology notice:
Lexus satellite radio tuners are awarded Type Approval
Certificates from XM
Satellite Radio Inc. on “March 10, 2003”
and “April 15, 2003” as proof of compatibility with the services
offered by the XM satellite radio.

need the radio ID when activating XM service or when
reporting a problem.

e
of 8 alphanumeric characters appears. If you select another
channel, display of the ID code is canceled. The channel (000)
