You can enjoy SiriusXM on your compatible smart TV or media player. The activation process is straightforward. This guide will help you get started.
What You Need to Begin
Before you start, ensure you have the following:
- A compatible smart TV, game console, or streaming device (e.g., Roku, Apple TV, or Amazon Fire TV).
- A stable internet connection.
- The SiriusXM app installed on your device.
- Your SiriusXM subscription information.
How to Locate Your Radio ID
Your device has a unique Radio ID, which is necessary for activation.
Begin by opening the SiriusXM app on your TV or media player. The app will display an activation screen showing your Radio ID, typically a combination of letters and numbers. Write this ID down, as you’ll need it for the next step. If the ID isn’t visible, check the app’s settings menu for an option to display it.
Activate Your Device Online
To activate your service, follow these steps:
- Visit the Activation Website: Use a computer or smartphone to open a web browser and go to the official SiriusXM activation page: siriusxm.com/refresh.
- Input Your Radio ID: Locate the field labeled “Radio ID or ESN” and enter the Radio ID from your TV app.
- Send the Signal: Click the button to send an activation signal. Keep your TV on and the SiriusXM app open without changing the channel.
The system will send a signal to your device. In a few minutes, the app on your TV will update, and the audio channels will be available. You can now start listening to SiriusXM.
Sign In with Your Streaming Login
If your subscription includes streaming, you can use an alternative method for activation. This is for subscribers with an existing username and password.
- Launch the App: Open the SiriusXM app on your TV.
- Select Sign In: Choose the “Sign In” or “I have an account” option.
- Input Your Credentials: Enter your SiriusXM username and password.
- Start Listening: The app will verify your account, load your channels, and you can begin listening immediately. This method does not require a Radio ID.
