the process. Continue until you have found an FM channel with which you are satisfied.

TIP! You may find an FM channel with static or silence on your vehicle’s FM radio that does not work with your
satellite Radio. It is possible that some type of inaudible interference is present that prevents reception of the
SiriusXM broadcast. Your only options are to use another FM channel or a different audio connection method.

the sky. Move the vehicle away from any obstructed area, for example, if you are parked
in a garage, or parked near a large structure.
