XM Ready® Subscription

Once you have installed the XM Mini-Tuner Home Dock, inserted the 
XM  Mini-Tuner,  connected  the  XM  Mini-Tuner  Home  Dock  to  your 
XM Ready® audio system, and installed the antenna, you are ready 
to subscribe and begin receiving XM programming. There are three 
places  to  find  your  eight  character  XM  Radio  ID:  On  the  XM  Mini-
Tuner, on the XM Mini-Tuner package, and on XM Channel 0. Record 
the Radio ID below for reference.

Note:

  The  XM  Radio  ID  does  not  use  the  letters  “I”,  “O”,  “S”  or 

“F”.  Activate  your  XM  Satellite  Radio  service  in  the  U.S.  online  at  
http://activate.xmradio.com  or  call  1-800-XMRADIO  (1-800-967-

satellites to activate the full channel lineup. Activation normally takes 
10-15 minutes, but during peak busy periods you may need to keep
