XM Radio - Set To Channel Mode For Full Programming

SOURCE:
Honda Service News January 2004

TITLE:
Set XM Radio to Channel Mode for Full Programming

APPLIES TO:
2004 Accord EX-L or EX-V6

SERVICE TIP:
If the XM satellite radio in a gets only 16 stations (the first in each category) or it can only get 1 to 13 stations in each category (the number of stations varies by category), check to see if the radio is set to Category mode instead of Channel mode.

In Category mode, the radio gets only the number of stations that are available in each category. Currently, these categories have 1 to 13 stations. In Channel mode, the radio can get the full range of XM programming (currently, that's 101 stations). For a full list of XM programming, visit their website at www.xmradio.com.

To change XM modes, do this:

Vehicles without navigation system: Press and hold the DISP-MODE button until you hear a beep.

Vehicles with navigation system: Press the MODE icon on the display screen. Then change the upper display from Category to Channel.
