Instructions
Get XM Radio in a Car
1. Choose the type of XM Radio receiver you want to install in your car. You can choose from add-on receivers you can install easily on your own or integrated units that take the place of your existing car audio system. You can even buy a new car with XM Radio already installed as an option.
2. Pick one of the add-on receiver models if you wish to keep your existing car stereo. You can simply mount the receiver on your dashboard and use an FM adapter to receive XM Radio programming through an existing radio frequency. You will need to place the magnetic antenna on the highest surface of your vehicle for the best reception, and then carefully route the antenna cable through a window or door to the receiver.
3. Opt for a professional installation from a car audio dealer or large electronics retail chain. Such a source can offer a wide variety of installation options, including an integrated head unit that will entirely replace your existing car radio and still offer CD, cassette or AM/FM capability.
4. Visit the official website for XM Radio to purchase receivers and accessories directly, to compare various programming and subscription services and to find out the latest special events and offers (see Resources below).
5. Activate your XM Radio subscription through the website by entering a special code on the back of the actual radio receiver. You will be able to get your subscription and monitor your billing records. You can also activate your subscription by calling XM Radio's toll-free phone number, which is listed in the owner's manual.
