The SiriusXM radio is a satellite radio service that is compatible with many vehicles. It has a vast programming lineup including music, talk, sports, news and other entertainment. You can stream the service from your computer or you can download the SiriusXM app to listen in your car. To activate the radio, you will need to buy a subscription.

Some vehicles are already equipped with Sirius Radio, but if yours doesn"t, you can install one of the kits available. Sirius Radio is very inexpensive and works with a variety of vehicles. However, your vehicle will need a satellite receiver or tuner. If you don"t have a satellite receiver in your vehicle, you can get a car kit that includes an antenna, an FM transmitter and cables. For a limited time, Sirius will offer free installation of their radio.

There are three basic packages that you can choose from. Each package comes with its own benefits. They are the All Access, the Sports, and the Music packages. A trial subscription is also available for new customers. One advantage of this is that you can test the signal and see if it is a good match for your car. When you are ready to subscribe, you can simply call the customer service line and refresh the signal.

The all-access trial includes improved search functionality, ad-free entertainment, and the news. It is available for three months and provides a good idea of what you will be getting in the future.

The all-access trial isn"t as comprehensive as the sports or music category, but it is a step in the right direction. Your first subscription will also include the original talk channels, plus more sports coverage. In addition, you can purchase a dock and play satellite radio that connects to your car stereo. This is a much more affordable option than buying a new radio.

The FM transmitter is a device that will send the SiriusXM signal to the radio. It is located behind the dashboard, and will be powered by the vehicle"s power source. If the signal is weak, you may need to purchase a new antenna.

Setting up the sirius XM in your vehicle is easy, but it does require a little bit of work. XM has an array of tuners and accessories to help you get the best signal. The tuner, for example, is a cheap solution that can be purchased for a few dollars. Another accessory, the FM modulator, will allow the tuner to transmit the signal through your car"s FM radio.

If you have an older vehicle, you might not have a satellite receiver. Alternatively, you might be able to use an adapter kit that allows you to hook up your factory stereo to a satellite receiver. These devices range in price from $15 to $75. Be sure to check with your dealership or local retailer to find out which device is the most affordable.

The SiriusXM all-access trial also includes an improved music category, better search functionality and ad-free entertainment. If you plan on extending your subscription, you can remove the radio from your account or order a new one.
