Selecting an FM Frequency
To listen to the audio from the Sirius S50, you will need to tune the FM radio in your vehicle and the FM transmitter in the Sirius S50 to the same FM frequency. The FM transmitter in the Sirius S50 defaults to 88.1 MHz, so you can begin by tuning your vehicle’s FM radio to 88.1 MHz. If there is an FM station broadcasting on that frequency, you will have to search for a different FM frequency to use, and the change the FM frequency that the Sirius S50 will use to transmit.
The FM transmitter frequency of the Sirius S50 may be changed using the 
Setup menu. Details for changing the FM frequency are found in the FM Transmitter section on page 71.
