- Review the audio system diagnostic section.
- If you can only tune channel 000, 001, 174 or 247, make sure the audio unit is set to the channel mode (see owner's manual), if it is set to channel mode, call XM satellite radio customer support and check the account activation status.

2. Substitute a known-good navigation unit, and recheck.

Can the navigation control the XM radio?
