GDL 69/69A XM Satellite Radio Activation Procedures 

Rev. K 

 

NOTE 

If your aircraft has not been powered on for an extended period of time your SiriusXM 

subscription may have been automatically deactivated.  In the event that this happens you will 

need to refresh the unit. Refer to Section 2.2 (MX20),  3.4 (G1000/G900X/G950), 4.4 (GNS 

430/530),  5.3 (GNS 430W/530W), 6.2 (GMX 200), 7.2 (G500/G600), 7.4 (GTN 

625/635/650 and GTN 725/750) for the procedure on ‘Refreshing’.  

2  MX20 - GDL 69 Series Activation 

The MX20 must be correctly configured to accept information from a GDL 69 Series, in accordance with 

the MX20 Multi-Function Display Installation Manual, P/N 560-1025-(  ). 

2.1  Activation Steps 

1.

 

Make sure that the aircraft's SiriusXM antenna has an unobstructed view of the southern sky.

 

It is highly recommended that the aircraft be outside of and away from the hangar.   

2.

 

Hook up the aircraft to external power if available.

 

The complete activation process may take 45-60 minutes or more, depending on the demand on the 

SiriusXM activation system. 

3.

 

Power on the avionics and allow the MX20 and GDL 69 Series to power up.

  

Do not power cycle the units during the activation process.   

4.

 

Verify that the yellow “GDL 69” failure flag is not displayed.

 

The absence of a failure flag confirms that the MX20 is communicating with the GDL 69 Series. 

5.

 

Go to the SiriusXM Activation Page. 

 

a)

 

Press the 

FN

 key until the 

FIS

 function is displayed.  Press the FIS smart key. 

b)

 

Press the fourth smart key until 

STATUS

 is displayed. 

c)

 

Press the 

MENU/ENT

 key. 

d)

 

Press the line select key next to 

Products

.  

Diagnostics

 and 

Start Diag

 will be displayed.  (in 

software version 5.5, 

Start Diag

 will not be displayed.) 

e)

 

Press the line select key next to 

Diagnostics

f)

 

Activation

 will be displayed. 

6.

 

To activate service, call SiriusXM at 1.800.985.9200.

 

When activating the data service, specify Aviator LT, Aviator, or Aviator Pro.  XM service should 

activate in 45 to 60 minutes.  During the activation process the unit may display several different 

activation levels.  This is normal and should be ignored.  When the service class (Aviator LT, 

Aviator, or Aviator Pro) and 

all

 of the weather products for the class that you subscribed to are 

displayed, press the 

Accept

 smart key.  See Table 2-1 for weather products available for the MX20. 

Wait 10 to 30 seconds to allow the GDL 69 Series to process the accept command and lock in the 

activation. 

NOTE 

Make sure to be specific for requesting a DATA ONLY service under the Data Radio ID 

and an AUDIO ONLY service under the Audio Radio ID.  Most SiriusXM receivers in 

the market have both audio and data services under one ID.  The GDL 69 Series will not 

function correctly with both an audio and a data service activated under one ID. 

NOTE 

During the activation process do not change channels or pages during this time.
