Nice to meet you, *****!
Check to make sure your XM radio and your car radio are tuned to the same FM frequency.

  • Make sure all of the cables between your SiriusXM radio and your stereo system are connected firmly and securely.
  • Make sure the FM mode in the SiriusXM Radio is turned Off.
  • Make sure host radio is on auxiliary input mode.

When I touch the Sxm icon it comes up 0 Radio ID and right below that are a bunch of capital letters?

Lets try one more option

  1. Press MENU
  2. Turn the TUNE knob to scroll to and highlight System Setup . Press theTUNE knob
  3. Turn the TUNE knob to scroll to and highlight Factory reset . Press theTUNE knob
  4. Confirm that you really want to proceedwith the factory reset . Turn the TUNEknob to highlight YES or NO and press theTUNE knob
  5. The screen will display Restarting and theRadio turn off .
