Activating Sirius XM Satellite Radio Services

The service is activated by providing Sirius XM Satellite Radio with either
one or two coded IDs, depending on the equipment. Either the Audio Radio ID
or the Data Radio ID, or both, must be provided to Sirius XM Satellite Radio to
activate the entertainment subscription. The Sirius XM Satellite Radio Activation
Instructions are included with the unit (also available at www.garmin.com, P/N
190-00355-04).
Sirius XM Satellite Radio and XM WX Satellite Weather subscriptions are
sold separately. It is not required to activate both the entertainment and weather
service subscriptions with the GDL 69A. Either or both services can be activated.
Sirius XM Satellite Radio uses one or both of the coded IDs to send an activation
signal that, when received by the GDL 69A, allows it to play entertainment
programming.
These IDs are located:
• On the label on the back of the Data Link Receiver
• On the XM Information Page on the MFD
Contact the installer if the Data Radio ID and the Audio Radio ID cannot be
located.
