12 SIR-GM1 Installation Guide
You must activate SIR-GM1 before you
can start to receive the SIRIUS Satellite
Radio broadcast.
1. Make sure that the SIR-GM1 is
properly connected and that its
antenna is oriented to receive the
SIRIUS satellite signal.
2. Turn on the headunit.
3. Use your factory radio’s controls to
select satellite radio as the source.
Pressing the BAND button will change
sources to SR1 or SR2. Note- some
headunits will display XM1 or XM2
when in SIRIUS mode.
4. If this is the first time the unit is
connected and receiving satellite
signal, the display may read
“UPDATING” until the SIR-GM1
channel update is completed. This is
where the latest channel line up is
updated on the SIRIUS Receiver.
NOTE: Don’t push any buttons or
perform any operations until
updating has been completed.
Once updated and the SIRIUS
channels are received, you will be
tuned to SIRIUS Satellite Radio’s
Preview Channel (Channel 184). You
should be able to hear the SIRIUS
Preview channel’s Audio.
5. Find the SIRIUS ID (SID) of your unit.
The SID can be found on a sticker on
the bottom of the SIR-GM1 or by
tuning to channel 255. Press the
display button (DISP on most units-
some use INFO) to select either artist
name or song title. Both fields will
display the 12-digit SID.
6. Write down the 12 digit SID in the
location provided on the next page for
future reference.

888-539-SIRIUS (1-888-539-7474) to

any other channels until you activate
your SIRIUS subscription.
