How activation works

Three simple steps from "stuck on preview" to listening to your favorite channel.

1

Locate your Radio ID

Tune to channel 0 on your receiver, or check the device's menu settings — your unique ID will be displayed there.

2

Enter it above

Type your Radio ID into the box and we'll instantly check it against our activation database.

3

Talk to a specialist

We'll connect you with a live agent who finishes the activation or troubleshooting with you over the phone.

WHERE TO LOOK

Can't find your Radio ID?

Try any of these depending on your receiver model:

  • Tune the dial to Channel 0 — the ID usually appears automatically.
  • Open the receiver's Menu → System Info screen.
  • On some Sirius models, press and hold SAT or ESN.
  • Check the sticker on the back or bottom of the device.

Quick answers

Common questions before you call in.

Is there a fee to speak with an agent?

No — calling our activation line for help with your existing radio is free of charge.

My radio shows "Antenna Disconnected" — is that normal?

Not during normal use. An agent can walk you through reseating the antenna cable or check if a replacement is needed.

Can I move my radio to a different car?

Yes, with a compatible mounting kit. Our agents can confirm what works with your specific receiver model.

How long does activation usually take?

Most calls resolve activation or signal issues within 10–15 minutes.
