Tune your vehicle radio to channel 1. This is the SiriusXM preview channel.
If you hear the preview, your radio is ready to be activated.
You’ll need your radio’s ESN or Radio ID.
For most radios: Tune to channel 0 to see your Radio ID.
Or, check your vehicle’s owner’s manual or SiriusXM-compatible device.
Radio IDs are typically 8 or 12 characters (letters & numbers).
Choose one of the following options:
🔹 Online Activation:
Go to siriusxm.com/activate
Enter your Radio ID/ESN and follow the steps.
🔹 By Phone:
Call 1-866-635-2349
Speak to a SiriusXM representative or follow the prompts for activation.
Once activated, turn on your radio and tune to channel 1.
Then, leave your vehicle on for about 10-15 minutes with a clear view of the sky (for satellite signal).
Some older TVs (especially in certain countries) had built-in FM radio tuners.
If your TV supports FM radio, activating it usually involves:
Going to the “Source” or “Input” menu.
Selecting FM Radio (if available).
Using the remote to scan for stations.
🔍 Note: Most modern smart TVs do not include FM tuners. Instead, they use internet radio or streaming apps (like TuneIn, iHeartRadio).
If you’re referring to “FM Activation” as a feature (e.g., a setting, app, or service on your TV), please provide more context:
Is it a brand-specific feature (Samsung, LG, Sony, etc.)?
Did you see a message or prompt about “FM activation”?
In some regions, FM radio stations are broadcast via cable TV (assigned to channels).
You can tune into those channels like normal TV channels if your provider offers that.
