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 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 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 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 to the
same FM channel. (Refer to “Set and Select an FM Channel” on page
69.) 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
