Use your vehicle radio’s
Tune
function (not the

channel (between 88.1MHz and 107.9MHz) that is not broadcasting in your area.
If you’re not sure which FM channels are not broadcasting in your home or
travel cities, you can also go to

suggested FM channel based on your zip code.
Once you have located an FM channel that is not broadcasting in your area, save it as
a preset on your vehicle radio. This will become your SIRIUS preset.
