86 87Find Available FM Channels in Your AreaBefore attempting any of the procedures below, you should park your vehicle in a safe location. Do not attempt to set up your FM channels or any XpressRCi function while driving.PowerConnect allows you to listen to XM audio through your vehicle’s FM radio. You will first need to find an available FM channel, which is a channel that is not being used by an FM radio station in your area. When you tune your FM radio to an available channel, you should only hear static or silence – not talk or music. Once you have found an available channel, you need to tune XpressRCi’s built-in transmitter to the same channel to receive XM sound through your vehicle’s radio.To find an available FM channel:• Manually tune through your local FM channels Manually tune through your local FM channels on your vehicle’s FM radio. Turn on your vehicle’s FM radio. Start at 88.1 and use the ‘Manual’ tune function on your vehicle’s FM radio to tune through each FM channel one-by-one (88.1 followed by 88.3 etc.) to locate channels that aren’t being used by a local FM radio station. Write down each FM channel that has only static or silence on it, until you reach 107.9. Once you have created your list of available FM channels, you will need to find the one that provides the best match for XpressRCi. Tune XpressRCi to a favourite XM channel (or to channel 1, if it’s not yet activated). Pick the first FM channel on your list and tune Configuring Your XpressRCi Radio IDYour XpressRCi has an alphanumeric ID which uniquely identifies the radio. This ID is used when subscribing to the XM radio service during the activation process and is displayed on channel 0.To display the Radio ID: 1. Ensure “Direct” appears at the top of the display screen. If not, press fav until it is displayed.2. Use the number buttons (0-9) to enter the channel number 0 and wait a moment until the channel is tuned or press the Select button.3. The Radio ID is displayed until you tune to another channel.
88 89the FM radio to that channel. Then tune the XpressRCi to the same FM channel. (Refer to “Set and Select an FM Channel” on page 92.) You should hear the XM channel through your vehicle’s radio. If you are satisfied with the sound quality, you’re done! If this FM channel doesn’t work well for you, work down the list until you find an FM channel that allows you to hear XM clearly.NOTE! You may find an FM channel with static or silence that does not work with XpressRCi. It is possible that some type of inaudible interference is present that prevents reception of the XpressRCi broadcast. Your only options are to use another FM channel or a different audio connection method.TIP! If you regularly drive from one location to another, such as your daily commute, you may need to use different FM channels along your route for best performance. If this is the case, we recommend saving the best FM channels as presets on your FM radio and XpressRCi. Then you simply select and match the best channel for the area you are in.TIP! It will be much more difficult to find available FM channels in large cities than in most suburban or rural locations. A direct audio connection using the Aux In Cable, Cassette Adapter or professional installation is your best solution if you drive in or near large metropolitan areas.NOTE! The performance of FM radios are different, based on manufacturer and vehicle style. Some may not work well with the type of FM transmitter used by XpressRCi. This is why we recommend a direct audio connection using the Aux In Cable or Cassette Adapter if they can be used in your vehicle. Professional installation can also resolve almost any performance issue.Configuring Your XpressRCi

For example, if you are parked in an underground garage, you should receive a signal after leaving the garage.•If you are using XpressRCi at home, move the antenna to a south-facing window. Don’t know which way is south? No problem. Start at any window then work from window to window in a simple pattern to find the best location.Troubleshooting
