Default OEM Sirius question

How do I get the OEM Sirius on?

Meaning what button do I have to push to get it to play through the stereo.
Its on but all I can do is switch through AM/FM/CD

What are your car details? Where are you? What's a Sirius?

Yes. Is it controlled via FM Modulator or is it direct?

Pretty awful setup. I turned on the FM frequency portion and it works.
Shame they couldn't make it work in the Nav Screen and it sounds awful
Unless I'm doing something wrong..??

It is pretty straight forward..... I have it and it sounds just as good as any other add on. It wasn't factory installed. All Sat. radio setups are an accessory. Search my posts, I've linked instructions before. One of your problems may be the frequency it is set up on. Also, the unit will have it's own volume control. Make sure you set it to an unused FM frequency and don't set the unit's volume to max, a few notches below should work fine. You will see a volume drop from standard FM to Sirius, but that too is typical. I've entertained wiring it as an aux, but that won't improve the sound all that much. Had one hooked to the Honda I had before the Jag and it sounded about the same.
