may not be the best channel in your area.
Tip: If you regularly travel between cities with different active FM channels, you may need
to find channels that are not broadcasting in each city. Several SIRIUS receiver models can
store multiple FM transmit channels, so you can easily switch to the best FM channel for
each city. You will also want to set the FM channels that are not broadcasting in each city as
presets on your vehicle radio.
If you're not sure which FM channels are not broadcasting in your home or travel cities, you
can also go to http://SIRIUS.com/fmchannel and search for a suggested FM channel based
on your zip code.

the possibility of interference from local FM broadcasters.

SIRIUS radio at your local electronics retailer. Your SIRIUS radio requires a 1/8" stereo

radio. Plug the other end into your "AUX IN" or "LINE IN" jack on your vehicle radio.
