Radio/CD Changer Wiring, Checking, through November 2006
- Switch Radio (R) off.
"chorus"

All
• Data wire from Radio (R) to CD Changer (R41) is not checked.
Wire connection OK
Indication on radio display:
"CDC CONNECTED"
Wire connection not OK
Indication on radio display:
"NO CDC"
- Check electrical connector at Radio (R).
- Repeat wiring check and if not OK, check wiring connector according to wiring diagram.
Satellite Radio, Enabling
When using for first time or when replacing satellite radio tuner, it must be enabled (activated) by the provider (XM or Sirius).
The subscription and application for activation can coincide with submission of all necessary data (US postal address, credit card number, radio ID (XM) or SID (Sirius)) to the provider's call center.
Only SIRIUS:
SIRIUS sends the activation sequence 6 times within the first hour after apply for the activation. If no successful activation results, another activation sequence must be requested at the SIRIUS call center.
Requirements
• Customer has subscribed to XM or Sirius
• Satellite Radio (R146) is installed and connected
• Radio (R) is adapted/coded accordingly
• Ignition switched on
Procedure
- Switch Radio (R) on and selection Satellite Radio (R146) reception area.
- Try to receive "free" channels in the XM (e.g. channel 1) or Sirius band (channel 184 only).
- Change location if necessary.
If "free" channels can be received clearly, the activation information sent by the provider (XM or Sirius) can also be received clearly.
A poor reception situation can prevent a successful activation even though activation information is being broadcast. In this case, vehicle location must be changed (an activation is also possible while vehicle is moving). There are e.g. workshops, garages, parking buildings, underground garages, fuel filling stations with extensive roofs and all other parking areas with signal shadows must be avoided.
In built-up areas with terrestrial radio system coverage (so-called terrestrial repeaters) as well as inner cities, activation via a repeater is possible instead of satellite.
Radio System Symphony II, Activating/Deactivating
Transport mode must be activated before sending every "symphony II+" radio.
After activation, the internal CD changer drive is in transport position.
After replacing a "symphony II+", transport mode must be deactivated after installation.
