How do I find the Sirius ESN number on my radio? *

[DMAG]

If you are activating your factory installed Sirius radio, you need wither your VIN number when contacting Sirius or the ESN number.

Your ESN number is programmed into your radio. To view the ESN number, complete the following steps (thanks to rps232):

-ignition in accessory position
-radio off
-press "eject" and "time" buttons simultaneously and hold for 3 seconds
-first 4 digits appear (12 total)
-press "seek down" to get the next 4 etc.

Sirrus had no idea on on how to find the number, they did get it up and running though using the VIN number.

Answered my own question. NAVIGATION equipped Sirius Radio ESN (SDARS) Number retrieval:

For the REC Navigation Radio. The ESN can be obtained using the following steps:

From Page 71 of the Nav Owners Manual

1: ACC on, power off
2. Press and hold the LOAD and SET/RND buttons at the same time.
3. A diagnostic screen appears. Find the ESN on the screen and write it down.
4. Call the satellite radio service provider to activate the system.

just give them your VIN number, they should be able to get it that way if it's a factory-installed receiver.
