Sirius Satellite Radio SDST5V1 manual Find Available FM Channels in Your Area

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 Starmate 5 function while driving..

PowerConnect allows you to listen to SIRIUS audio through your vehicle’s FM 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 FM radio to an available channel, you should only hear static or silence

– not talk or music..

Once you have found an available channel, you need to tune the Starmate 5’s built-in transmitter to the same channel to receive SIRIUS sound through your vehicle’s radio..

We recommend one of the following methods to find an available FM channel:

1Use the SIRIUSXM FM Channel Finder

Use the SIRIUSXM FM Channel Finder at www..sirius..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 the Starmate 5 to a favorite SIRIUS channel (or to channel 184, if it’s not yet 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 the Starmate 5 to the same FM channel..
