Sirius TM Satellite Radio information

Satellite Radio channels:

SIRIUS TM Satellite Radio has over 130 channels, including 69 channels of 100% commercial-free music, plus sports, news, talk and entertainment available nationwide in your vehicle.

For more information and a complete list of SIRIUS TM Satellite Radio channels, visit sirius.com in the United States, sirius-canada.ca in Canada, or call SIRIUS TM at 1-888-539-7474.

Satellite Radio reception factors:

To receive the satellite signal, your vehicle has been equipped with a satellite radio antenna located on the roof of your vehicle. The vehicle roof provides the best location for an unobstructed, open view of the sky, a requirement of a satellite radio system.

Like AM/FM, there are several factors that can affect satellite radio reception performance:

  • Antenna obstructions: For optimal reception performance, keep the antenna clear of snow and ice build-up and keep luggage and other material as far away from the antenna as possible.
  • Terrain: Hills, mountains, tall buildings, bridges, tunnels, freeway overpasses, parking garages, dense tree foliage and thunderstorms can interfere with your reception.

Sirius TM Satellite Radio service:

SIRIUS TM Satellite Radio is a subscription- based satellite radio service that broadcasts music, sports, news and entertainment programming to radio receivers, which are available for installation in motor vehicles or factory installed, as well as for the home, portable and wireless devices, and through an Internet connection on personal computer.

Vehicles that are equipped with a factory installed SIRIUS TM Satellite Radio system include:

  • Hardware and an introductory trial subscription term, which begins on the date of sale or lease of the vehicle.
  • For a small upgrade fee, access to SIRIUS TM music channels, and other select channels over the Internet using any computer connected to the Internet (U.S. customers only).

For information on extended subscription terms, contact SIRIUS TM at 1-888-539-7474.

NOTE:

Sirius XM service requires a subscription, sold separately, after 3- month trial included with vehicle purchase. If you decide to continue your SiriusXM service at the end of your trial subscription, the plan you choose will automatically renew and bill at then-current rates until you call Sirius XM at 1- 866-635-2349 to cancel. See our Customer Agreement for complete terms at www.siriusxm.com. Programming subject to change. Sirius satellite service is available only to those at least 18 and older in the 48 contiguous USA, D.C., and PR (with coverage limitations). Traffic information not available in all markets. See siriusxm. com/traffic for details. Sirius, XM and all related marks and logos are trademarks of Sirius XM Radio Inc.
