SIR-ALP1 Installation Guide
You must activate SIR-ALP1 before
you can start to receive the SIRIUS

1. Make sure that the SIR-ALP1 is
properly connected and that its
antenna is oriented to receive the
SIRIUS satellite signal.
2. Turn on the Alpine headunit.
3. Press and release the POWER/
SOURCE button on the head unit to
select SIRIUS as the source. (Each
press of the POWER/SOURCE
button will change to a different
audio source.)
4. The display may read “LOADING”
until the SIR-ALP1 channel update is
completed.
NOTE: Don’t push any buttons or
perform any operations until
updating has been completed.
Once updated and the SIRIUS
channels are received, the display
will change to Channel 184 the
SIRIUS Satellite Radio’s Preview
Channel. At this time you should also
be able to hear the audio from the
Preview Channel.
5. Use the UP/DN buttons to select to
Channel “255” on the display – this
will bring up the SIRIUS-ID.
6. The unit will display “SIRIUS” in the
Category Name Field, “RADIO ID” in
the Channel Field and the SIRIUS-
ID in the Artist and Song Fields of
the display – Example “ESN
123456789123.” Write down the

TITLE button on the Alpine headunit
to show the SIRIUS-ID. Be sure that
the Alpine headunit is set to Auto

only see 8-characters of the code.

found on the sticker that is on the
bottom of the SIR-ALP1 as well as on
the original packaging.
