Activating Your Sirius Subscriptions - Sirius Satellite Radio SIR-ALP10T Installation Manual

Activating Your SIRIUS Subscriptions

You must activate the SIR-ALP10T before
you can start to receive the SIRIUS Satellite
Radio service and the SIRIUS Traffic
service. Each is a separate service, and
each needs to be activated individually.
In order to activate your radio and traffic
subscriptions, you will need the two SIRIUS
IDs (SIDs) – one for the SIRIUS Satellite
Radio service and one for the SIRIUS Traffic
service – which uniquely identify your SIR-
ALP10T tuner. The SIDs may be found on
sticker located on the bottom of the SIR-
ALP10T packaging or on the bottom of the
unit itself.
The label will have printed on it two 12-digit
SID numbers. The first will be the Data SID
for the SIRIUS Traffic service, for example,
"Data SID: 123456789012". The second is
the Audio SID for the SIRIUS Radio service,
for example, "Audio SID: 987654321098".
Note: It is possible to activate only the
audio or the traffic service, just use the
appropriate SID. When you have located
both SIDs, write them down in the space
provided on page 22 of this manual.
Obtaining the Audio SID from the
Alpine Headunit
If you do not have access to the SID
stickers on the packaging or on the product,
you can obtain the Audio SID using the
following method.
1. Make sure that the SIR-ALP10T is
properly connected, and that the
antenna is oriented to receive the
SIRIUS satellite signal.
2. Press and release the POWER/
SOURCE button on the audio headunit
to select SIRIUS as the source. (Each
press of the button will change to a
different audio source.)
3. The display may read "UPDATING" or
"CALL 888-539-SIRIUS TO
SUBSCRIBE" until the SIR-ALP10T
SIR-ALP10T Operation and Installation Guide SIR-ALP10T Installation Guide
channel update is completed.
NOTE: Don't push any buttons or
perform any operations until
updating has been completed. Once
updated, and the SIRIUS channels are
being received, the display will change
to Channel 184, the SIRIUS Satellite
Radio's Preview Channel. At this time
you should also be able to hear the
audio from the Preview Channel.
4. Use the UP/DN buttons to select
channel "255" on the display.
5. Once tuned to channel 255, the
headunit will display "SIRIUS" in the
Category Name Field, "RADIO ID" in the
Channel Field, and the Audio SID in the
Artist and Song fields of the display.
Note: You may have to press the TITLE
button on the Alpine headunit to show
the Audio SID. Be sure that the headunit
is set to Auto Scroll the text. If not, you
may only see the first eight characters
of the SID. (See your Alpine headunit
owners manual for more information.)
6. Copy the Audio SID to the space
provided on page 22 of this manual.
