Listening to satellite radio
The digital signals from the satellites are line-of-sight, which means that physical obstructions such as bridges, tunnels, etc, may temporarily interfere with signal reception.
Avoid any obstructions, such as metallic objects transported on roof racks or in a ski box, or other antennas that may impede signals from the SiriusXM® satellites.
Selecting SiriusXM® Satellite radio mode
From the center display's Home view, swipe from right to left to come to App view.
