You do not receive all the  
channels to which you subscribed

• Ensure that you have subscribed by following the 

steps in “Subscribe” on page 24. 

• Go to 

www .siriusxm .ca 

and follow the instructions 

to refresh your activation signal.

• Call 1-877-438-9677 for more assistance.

Audio fades or has static when 
listening

• Check all cables for a firm and secure connection.
• If you are using 

PowerConnect to listen via your 

vehicle’s FM radio, and the problem persists, 
it most likely is interference from another 
commercial or broadcast FM station. You will need 
to find an unused or available FM channel in your 
area. Refer to step 1 in “Option 3: 

PowerConnect 

Installation Instructions” on page 22.

• If you are using 

PowerConnect, and you cannot 

solve the audio problem, try connecting the audio 
using the Aux In Cable or a Cassette Adapter. 
(Refer to page 21 and page 22.) If you cannot 
use those solutions, consider using an FM Direct 
Adapter. (Refer to page 20.)
