I had the BRP XM radio installed by my dealer. I can not find how to bring up the "0" channel to be able to see the ID # to activate the radio. When I get to the screen where the channel #s should be there is nothing there.

I did find this in an old post in RT Shop talk.(search does turn up a nugget now and again)

check out post # 35 and 36. My problem is there is nothing in either the category screen or the channel screen.
Bump
Is it listed in the paperwork that came with the radio?
https://listenercare.siriusxm.com/ap...41/kw/CAN%20AM SIRIUS RADIO has a chat option that may help you find your ID number.
Thank you for all the replies. I know how to get the ID,just tune to channel "0". The problem is that when I bring up the screen that is supposed to show the categories and the channels there is nothing there,the screens are blank. I am looking for a reason or a remedy for this
Are you getting a good Sat signal to the antenna?
I don't know. The radio is not giving me a no signal warning
You should at least get the preview station on channel 184 or channel 1. I believe it is. Then you know you got a signal for sure.
Where is the XM antenna mounted?
I am assuming you have already acquired a subscription from Sirius/XM. I use my Garmin 665 and XM-40 antennae for XM radio. Speakers or
Bluetooth headset.

I think that is a bad assumption.
You need the radio ID number BEFORE you get the subscription.
A couple of rather obvious solutions have been offered already:
Call Sirius/XM or contact the installing dealer.......and yet the OP seems to be ignoring both suggestions.
Is it facing up or down?
You may not get a good signal under the lid of the trunk. I got rid of the puck type and got a antenna type for the XM.
Try moving it out of the trunk and face it upward towards the sky.
Like I said you should have something playing on channels 1 or 184
It is facing up right now,when I get home tonight I will see what happens when I move it out from under the lid.
I have the brp sirrius module which was installed by the dealer,my antenna,puck,is on the shelf under the lid in the trunk also.I have no recepition problems,as stated you should get a preview channel on 1 and ID on 0.If your not getting anything I would revisit dealer to make sure they connected everything correctly.
I will have to take back to the dealer, but that is in the future as he is over 100 miles away and a day off work. I am hoping for a solution I can apply here or maybe I am not accessing the radio right.It may be a vein hope but at least it gives me something to do until I can get back north.
Thank you all for your responses.
i have the same radio....antenna located just like yours and it works great...i don't remember where i found the radio id, but i suggest you phone em up.
Did you change the radio from FM to XM in the menu
