8.6 SIRIUSXM RADIO ENTERTAINMENT
 NOTE:  Refer to the Hazard Avoidance Section for information about XM WX Satellite Weather products.
The	 optional	 SiriusXM	 Radio	entertainment	 feature	of	the	 GDL	69A	 Data	Link	 Receiver	 is	available	 for	the	
pilot’s	 and	passengers’	 enjoyment.		 The	GDL	 69A	can	receive	SiriusXM	 Satellite	Radio	entertainment	 services	at	
any	altitude	 throughout	 the	Continental	 U.S.		Entertainment	 audio	is	available	 only	on	the	 GDL	69A	 Data	Link	
Receiver,	not	the	GDL	69.
SiriusXM	 Satellite	Radio	offers	a	variety	 of	radio	 programming	 over	long	 distances	 without	having	to	constantly	
search	 for	new	 stations.	 	 Based	on	signals	 from	satellites,	 coverage	far	exceeds	 land-based	 transmissions.		
SiriusXM	Satellite	Radio	services	 are	subscription-based.		 For	more	 information	 on	specific	 service	packages,	 visit 
www.siriusxm.com.
ACTIVATING SIRIUSXM SATELLITE RADIO SERVICES
The	service	 is	activated	 by	providing	 SiriusXM	Satellite	Radio	with	either	 one	or	two	 coded	 IDs,	depending	 on	
the	equipment.		 Either	the	Audio	 Radio	ID	or	the	 Data	 Radio	 ID,	or	both,	 must	be	provided	 to	SiriusXM	 Satellite	
Radio	to	activate	the	entertainment	subscription.
It	is	 not	 required	 to	activate	 both	the	entertainment	 and	weather	 service	subscriptions	 with	the	GDL	 69A.		
Either	 or	both	 services	 can	be	activated.		 SiriusXM	Satellite	Radio	uses	one	or	both	 of	the	 coded	 IDs	to	send	 an	
activation	signal	that,	when	received	by	the	GDL	69A,	allows	it	to	play	entertainment	programming.
These	IDs	are	located:
•	On	the	label	on	the	back	of	the	Data	Link	Receiver
•	On	the	XM	Information	Page	on	the	MFD	(Figure	8-73)
•	On	 the	XM	 Satellite	 Radio	Activation	 Instructions	 included	with	the	unit	 (available	 at	www.garmin.com,	 P/N	
190-00355-04)
Contact	the	installer	if	the	Data	Radio	ID	and	the	Audio	Radio	ID	cannot	be	located.
 NOTE:  The LOCK Softkey on the XM Information Page (Auxiliary Page Group) is used to save GDL  69A 
activation data when the SiriusXM services are initially set up.  It is not used during normal SiriusXM 
Radio operation, but there should be no adverse effects if inadvertently selected during flight.  Refer to 
the GDL 69/69A XM Satellite Radio Activation Instructions (190-00355-04, Rev H or later) for further 
information.
Activating the SiriusXM Satellite Radio services:
1)  Contact SiriusXM Satellite Radio  Follow the instructions provided by SiriusXM Satellite Radio services.
2)  Select the Auxiliary Page Group.
3) Select the next to last page in the AUX Page Group.
4) Select the INFO Softkey to display the XM Information Page.
5)  Verify that the desired services are activated.
