  • Try each recommended frequency and keep the one that sounds clearest in your vehicle.
  • Choose a frequency with no music, voices or strong static from a local station.
  • Make sure the SiriusXM receiver and vehicle stereo are tuned to exactly the same frequency.
  • Run a new search after traveling to another city or broadcast market.
