BMW NA Sirius Satellite Radio Customer Activation Procedure:

Step 1: Locate vehicle outside so that the roof with has a clear Line-of-Sight to the sky. Make sure
that vehicle is located at a distance greater than 10 feet from nearest building. (Do not place
vehicle under a tree or other solid structure.)
Note: For BMW Centers located in downtown cities such as NYC or LA, it may not be necessary to
locate vehicle outside. In this case, locate vehicle near window to receive Sirius signal and
activate receiver.
Step 2: Turn key to position 1. (KL-R)

Step 3: Turn Radio ON by pressing knob.
Step 4: Press the “MODE” button repeatedly until Sirius Satellite Mode is activated. “SIRIUS” will be
displayed.
Step 5: The receiver will now try to find any available Sirius Satellite Radio signal. “ACQUIRING” may
flash in the display until a channel is found.
(If “ACQUIRING” continues to flash for more than 1 minute then no Sirius signal is available.
Please re-locate vehicle and repeat Steps 1 – 4.)
Step 6: Channel 184 “CH 184” should be found and “Preview” should be displayed. Audio should also
be heard at this time. (Channel 184 should be available on every receiver and was designed to
allow technicians to confirm Sirius receiver functionality before activation.)
Step 7: If “Preview” is displayed and audio is functioning correctly (Check radio Balance and Fader),
proceed to step 10. If not, go to next step.
Step 8: If “No Channel” is displayed, turn radio OFF, wait 10 seconds, and repeat Steps 3 & 4.
Step 9: Press channel up/down arrow keys repeatedly until Channel 184 is found and “Preview” is
displayed. Allow receiver to update information. (Approx. 30 seconds) Audio should now be
heard, “Preview” is displayed and Channel 184 should be the only available channel. If you are
able to select other “unavailable” channels repeat Steps 3 – 6.
Step 10:Have completed Sirius Satellite Radio Activation Worksheet and contact Sirius to activate
receiver. Sirius Receiver ESN can be found on bottom of Sirius receiver or by pressing “SAT”
key on radio for greater than 1.5 seconds in Sirius “MODE” and ESN will be displayed. Please
refer to Activation Worksheet for correct Sirius activation procedure.
Step 11:After Sirius Customer Service Representative activates receiver, it will take approximately 5
minutes or less for signal to reach the vehicle. Leave radio in Sirius Satellite mode with
“Preview” displayed and key in KL-R position for approximately 5 additional minutes so that all
satellite information may be downloaded into receiver for first time usage.
Step12:Turn Radio OFF by pressing knob, wait 10 seconds, and repeat Steps 3 & 4.
Step 13:Press channel up/down arrow keys to select available channels. All available channels can
now be selected and/or stored in 18 Preset locations. (Please refer to Owner’s Manual for
additional Sirius Satellite Mode functionality and features.)

activation attempt.
