Before you can listen to XM content, you must activate your Xpress R .
1. Set up your Xpress R , car cradle, power adapter, and antenna (pages 11- 22). Make sure
Xpress R can receive the XM signal.
2. Find the 8-character XM Radio ID, which is printed on the package or on the back of
your Xpress R . Or select XM channel 0 to view the Radio ID. Record the Radio ID here for
reference:

The XM Radio ID does not use the letters I, O, S, or F.
3. Activate your XM Satellite Radio service online at https://activate.xmradio.ca and 1 877
GET XMSR (1-877-438-9677). You will need a major credit card. The website will walk
you through activation, selecting a service plan, and creating an XM account.
XM will send a signal from the satellites to activate the full channel lineup. Activation
normally takes 10 to 15 minutes, but during peak busy periods you may need to keep
your Xpress
R on for up to an hour. When you can access the full channel lineup on your
Xpress R , you’re finished!
