There are two types of Sirius XM car radios available. One is a satellite-based radio, and the other is a subscription-based model. Both come with different features. In order to get the most out of your vehicle"s audio system, you"ll need to determine the best type for your needs.

Many cars come with an in-dash radio receiver. It can be installed in just a few minutes. However, not all vehicles can accommodate aftermarket head units. When purchasing a radio, check with your local auto parts store to determine which one will work best for your vehicle.

Before you install the radio in your vehicle, make sure the antenna is wired securely. This will help improve the signal. Antennas close to roof bars can interfere with the signal. Your vehicle should also have a "AUX IN" or "LINE IN" jack, which is located on the front of the radio.

Sirius XM car radios can be purchased for about $60. For new customers, it"s free for the first three months. After the free trial period, you"ll have to subscribe to the service. If you don"t like it, you can cancel your subscription and request a refund.

To enjoy the benefits of Sirius XM, you"ll need to purchase a tuner module. A tuner module connects to your vehicle"s stereo by way of the UniLink(tm)/CD Changer Control connection. You"ll need an 8-digit XM Satellite Radio ID number in order to complete the installation.

Most of the car manufacturers have partnered with Sirius, and many of their new cars include satellite radio in the audio system. However, it isn"t always easy to install a satellite radio. Some vehicles will require you to buy a separate tuner module.

The best way to get Sirius XM car radio is to have a new vehicle that"s equipped with a factory-installed receiver. This way, you"ll be guaranteed a reliable and high-quality reception. Alternatively, you can install an aftermarket head unit, but you"ll lose the steering wheel controls and station/track displays.

Another way to get Sirius XM car stereo is by installing an FM-Modulator. This device converts the Sirius Channel signal into an FM signal. An FM-Modulator can be purchased at most local retailers. Depending on your budget, you can have one installed in your car for $15 to $75.

If you are having trouble getting the Sirius XM radio to work, you can call customer service. They"ll provide you with instructions on how to get your car"s radio working. Once your car is on, you"ll want to cycle through the various settings until you reach the "Advanced Settings" option. With this option, you can adjust the frequency, volume, and pause content.
