396 question

[dlevy]

This is ridicoulous.

I just bought a 396 and want weather and XM radio. The XM people want to
know something about whether or not I have both weather and radio on the
same channel. I have no idea what they are talking about. I'm sure someone
has been asked and has answered this question already. What do I tell the
XM people?

Can't they all just get along?

If I was asked, I said yes. You'll know pretty quickly whether it was
the right answer I suspect.

The 396 (actually, the GXM 30 "hockey puck" that came with it) contains two
XM receivers -- one for XM Weather, and one for XM Radio. In order to
activate an XM Receiver, the XM folks need to know the receiver's ID -- a
combination of numerals and letters.

The 396 uses one ID for both receivers. You can find the ID by going to the
Main Menu page, and selecting the "XM" icon from the left side, and then
selecting the "Information" subtab from the top of the screen.

So, if the XM people ask you if the XM WX and XM Radio use the same ID, the
answer is "Yes."
