Activation Basics: New & Pre-Owned
New vehicles arrive factory-activated
All pre-owned vehicles must be pre-activated
Pre-Activate A Radio
For pre-owned vehicles, pre-activating SiriusXM radios is now as easy as just scanning a VIN. New vehicles should arrive on your lot fully functional, but if SiriusXM is not working, follow the radio refresh steps below.
- Download the SiriusXM Dealer App from the App Store or Google Play.
- Make sure the radio is on and the vehicle is outside with a clear view of the sky. For best results, open the app and turn on location services.
- Choose “Scan VIN,” scan the VIN barcode, then press “send refresh signal now.” Or you can manually enter the radio ID.
- It’s that simple – and you can easily repeat the process to refresh more radios. Customer trial does not begin until after the vehicle is sold.
