XM Activation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT:
After replacement of an XM receiver, call XM radio to deactivate the receiver that has been removed from the vehicle. The vehicle must be parked in view of a satellite within 24 hours after an activation call.
- Turn the radio ON, tune to the XM channel 0, and record the radio ID. The radio ID will be needed for activation of the new receiver.
- Call XM radio at 1-800-556-3600 to deactivate the faulty receiver and activate the new receiver.
- Park the vehicle outside in an area with an unobstructed view of the southern sky.
- Leave the vehicle outside with the ignition switch in the ACC position and the radio on for 30 minutes to activate XM service.
- Once activated, the radio will receive the remaining XM channels.
