XM radio
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.

The installing dealer should be responsible for letting you know what you need to activate the unit.
If they can't do that, they shouldn't get paid.

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.

The antenna is mounted on the top lip of trunk just under the lid. That is where the installation instructions say to mount it.

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 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.
