3-month complimentary subscription to
the Sirius XM
TMSatellite Radio service.
Activation process:
You can activate the XM Satellite Radio

Satellite radio signals are best received in
areas with a clear view of the open sky. In
areas where there are tall buildings, trees,
tunnels or other structures that may
obstruct the signal of the satellites, there
may be signal interruptions. Other circum-
stances that may result in signal loss
include driving near a wall, steep cliff or
hill, or driving on the lower level of a multi-
tiered road or inside a parking garage.
To help reduce this condition, satellite
radio providers have installed ground-
based repeaters in heavily populated
areas. However, you may still experience
reception problems in some areas. ! Displaying satellite radio ID of tuner
When you activate satellite radio, you
should have your satellite radio tuner ID
ready because each tuner is identified by its unique satellite radio tuner ID.
