getting a siriusxm login for the app when it only came with the car

some newer cars don't show it on channel 0. look in the SiriusXM settings in the car's infotainment menu instead, the radio ID or ESN is usually listed there.

you need the radio ID from the car first. tune the radio to channel 0 and it shows on the screen. then create an account on the siriusxm site with that ID and it links the car subscription to your login. the catch is the car trial or plan doesn't always include streaming. some do, some are in-car only and you'd have to add the app on top. once you're logged in it tells you which one you've got.
