Find Available FM Channels in Your Area
Before attempting any of the procedures below, you should park your vehicle in
a safe location. Do not attempt to set up your FM channels or any OnyX function
while driving.
PowerConnect allows you to listen to SiriusXM through your existing vehicle
radio. You will first need to find an available FM channel, which is a channel
that is not being used by an FM radio station in your area. When you tune your
vehicle's FM radio to an available channel, you should only hear static or silence
– not talk or music.
Once you have found an available FM channel, you'll need to tune OnyX and
your vehicle's radio to the same FM channel to receive XM audio through your
vehicle's radio.
We recommend one of the following methods to find an available FM channel:
1 Use the SiriusXM FM Channel Finder
Use the SiriusXM FM Channel Finder at www .siriusxm .com/fmchannel.
Go to the website and enter your zip code. The Channel Finder will
suggest a list of available FM channels in your area. For convenience,
write down or print out the list.
Tune OnyX to a favorite XM channel (or to channel 1, if it's not activated).
Turn on your vehicle's FM radio. Pick the first FM channel on your
Channel Finder list and tune the FM radio to that channel. If you do
not hear a local FM station broadcast, then tune OnyX to the same FM
channel. (Refer to "Set and Select an FM Channel" on page 76.) You should
hear the XM channel through your vehicle's radio. If you are satisfied with
the sound quality, you're done! If this FM channel doesn't work well for
you, work down the list until you find an FM channel that allows you to
hear XM clearly.
