Find Available FM Channels in Your Area
Before attempting any of the procedures below, you should park your
vehicle in a safe location. Do not attempt to set up your FM channels or any
Onyx EZ function while driving.
PowerConnect allows you to listen to SiriusXM through your existing vehicle
radio. You will first need to find an available FM channel, which is a channel
that is not being used by an FM radio station in your area. When you tune
your vehicle’s FM radio to an available channel, you should only hear static
or silence – not talk or music.
Once you have found an available FM channel, you’ll need to tune Onyx
EZ and your vehicle’s radio to the same FM channel to receive XM audio
through your vehicle’s radio.
We recommend one of the following methods to find an available FM channel:
1. Use the SiriusXM FM Channel Finder
Use the SiriusXM FM Channel Finder at www.siriusxm.com/fmchannel.
Go to the website and enter your zip code. The Channel Finder will
suggest a list of available FM channels in your area. For convenience,
write down or print out the list.
Tune Onyx EZ to a favorite XM channel (or to channel 1, if it’s not
activated). Turn on your vehicle’s FM radio. Pick the first FM channel
on your Channel Finder list and tune the FM radio to that channel. If
you do not hear a local FM station broadcast, then tune Onyx EZ to the
same FM channel. (Refer to “Set and Select an FM Channel” on page
63.) You should hear the XM channel through your vehicle’s radio. If
you are satisfied with the sound quality, you’re done! If this FM channel
doesn’t work well for you, work down the list until you find an FM
channel that allows you to hear XM clearly.
