Honda CR-V: SiriusXM® Radio Service* / Receiving SiriusXM® Radio

Honda CR-V 2017-2025 Owner's Manual / Features / General Information on the Audio System / SiriusXM® Radio Service* / Receiving SiriusXM® Radio

Switch to the SiriusXM® mode by using the ENTER button on the steering wheel, or through the audio/information screen, and stay in this mode for about 30 minutes until the service is activated. Make sure your vehicle is in an open area with good reception.

The SiriusXM® satellites are in orbit over the equator; therefore, objects south of the vehicle may cause satellite reception interruptions. Satellite signals are more likely to be blocked by tall buildings and mountains the farther north you travel from the equator.

You may experience reception problems under the following circumstances:

In a location with an obstruction to the south of your vehicle.
In tunnels
On the lower level of a multi-tiered road
Large items carried on the roof rack
