Option 3: PowerConnect Installation Instructions
1 You’ll first need to find an available FM channel. An available FM channel is one that’s
not being used by an FM radio station in your area. When you tune your FM radio to an
available channel, you should only hear static or silence – not talk or music. We recommend
one of the following methods to find an available FM channel:
a. Use the SIRIUS|XM FM Channel Finder at www.xmradio.com/fmchannel. Go to the
website and enter your zip code. The Channel Finder will suggest a list of available FM
channels in your area. For convenience, write down or print out the list.
OR
b. Manually tune through your local FM channels on your vehicle’s FM radio. Locate and create a
list of channels that aren’t being used by any FM radio station. Write down the list. Once you
have created your list of available FM channels, you will need to find the one that provides the
best match for Snap.
TIP! You’ll need to use the ‘Manual’ tune function on your vehicle’s FM radio to tune through every
FM channel one-by-one. Turn on your vehicle’s FM radio. Start at 88.1 and use the ‘Manual’ tune
function on your vehicle’s FM radio to tune through each FM channel one-by-one (88.1 followed by
88.3 etc.) to locate channels that aren’t being used by a local FM radio station. Write down each FM
channel that has only static or silence on it, until you reach 107.9.
2 Pick the first FM channel on your list from step 1. Turn on your vehicle’s FM radio (if you have
not already done so) and tune it to this FM channel.
