How do I get the new channel lineup beginning August 17 th ?

What channels will you add to my lineup?

A few of our listeners who have specific types of radios may experience minor technical issues once these channel additions and adjustments are completed. Most of these issues can be easily solved by giving your radio a few extra minutes to finish updating the first time you power it up on or after August 17. Other potential issues and troubleshooting tips are provided below.

What will happen to my radio on August 17? Just give your radio a few extra moments to update when you first turn it on. Why? Your radio may need 2-5 minutes to receive the updated lineup from our satellites. During this time, the audio you hear may not match what is shown on your display and you may see messaging such as "updating channels" or "acquiring signal" on your radio's display. Let it update. Please do not change channels while your radio is updating, as this will delay the update from being completed. Once the update is complete, tune to the channel you want to hear and you're all set. Visit www.siriusxm.com/channellineup to download the updated channel guide so you can quickly find the new channels and any favorites that may have moved. Some listeners may need to take additional action on or after August 17 if one or more of the following applies: You have an XM dock and play radio and your audio does not match the channel you are tuned to, your presets return the wrong channel or some of the new channels are missing.

Will I have to reset my radio presets? Probably not. On August 17 (or whenever you first turn your radio on after that date), your radio preset buttons should automatically sync to the new locations for any channels that you've chosen as presets. If this does not happen automatically, follow the instructions included with your vehicle owner's manual to quickly update your presets. Back to top

Will my Sirius radio presets point to the new channel locations? If you have a Sirius radio and your presets no longer take you to your favorite channels, you may have to reset one or more of your preset buttons. This is easy to do and should only take a few moments. Please consult your vehicle owner’s manual for assistance. We apologize for any inconvenience.

I have an XM dock-and- play radio. The audio does not match the channel I am tuned to. The preset buttons return the wrong audio or some of the new channels are missing. What should I do? Some XM receivers will continue trying to update even after they have been properly updated. Simply push the POWER button to turn your radio on, wait three to five minutes, and then press the POWER button again to turn the radio off (turning the car's ignition off and on does not count). Your XM radio should work properly the next time you turn your radio back on. Please consult your vehicle owner’s manual for further assistance. Back to top

The labels on my XM radio preset buttons no longer match the channel name/number displayed on my radio. This issue may occur if you drive a Model Year 2008 or later GM vehicle with a pre-installed XM radio. If this occurs, you will need to update the preset button labels on your radio. This is a simple procedure: Press and hold the preset button until you hear a beep. The preset button label should then match the name and number of the channel you're tuned to. Follow the instructions that came with your radio to quickly reset those channels. Please consult your vehicle owner’s manual for further assistance. We apologize for any inconvenience. Back to top

I have an XM radio and the programming I hear does not match the channel name/number displayed on the radio. A small number of dealer-installed XM Satellite radios used predominantly in Toyota, Lexus and Scion vehicles may not properly adjust to the new channel locations on or after August 17. If you have one of these radios you may notice that the programming you hear does not match the channel name and number you see on your radio. As you tune up and down the dial, the sequence of channel names you see may not match the sequence of programming that you hear as you change the channels. Click on the appropriate link below for printable instructions for performing what is called a "Channel List Update," the process that will correct this behavior. Important: There are different sets of instructions based on your vehicle and model year. For Toyota/Scion model years 2012 or later with a touch screen, click here.
