Note: The XM Radio ID does not use the letters “I”, “O”, “S” or
“F”. Activate your XM Satellite Radio service in the U.S. online at
http://activate.xmradio.com or call 1-800-XM-RADIO (1-800-967-
2346). Activate your XM Satellite Radio service in Canada online at
https://activate.xmradio.ca or call 1-877-GET-XMSR (1-877-438-9677).
You will need a major credit card. XM will send a signal from the
satellites to activate the full channel lineup. Activation normally takes
10 to 15 minutes, but during peak busy periods you may need to keep
your XM Ready home audio system on for up to an hour. When you
can access the full lineup on your XM Ready home audio system you
are done.
