You’ll first need to find an available FM channel . An available FM
channel is one that’s 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 . We
recommend one of the following methods to find an available FM
channel:
a .
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 .
OR
b .
Manually tune through your local FM channels on your vehicle’s FM radio . Locate and create
a list of channels that aren’t being used by any FM radio station . Write down the list . Once
you have created your list of available FM channels, you will need to find the one that
provides the best match for Roady BT .
TIP!
You’ll need to use the ‘Manual’ tune function on your vehicle’s FM radio to tune
through every FM channel one-by-one . Turn on your vehicle’s FM radio . Start at 88 .1 and
use the ‘Manual’ tune function on your vehicle’s FM radio to tune through each FM channel
one-by-one (88 .1 followed by 88 .3 etc .) to locate channels that aren’t being used by a local
