SATELLITE ACTIVATION INSTRUCTIONS
CLARION & DENSO
If you need to perform a warranty exchange on any radio that is factory equipped with a Clarion
or DENSO satellite radio, please follow the instructions below. Going through the process will
ensure that any fee for the new radio is waived and will ensure your customer continues to receive
their satellite radio programming without any interruption of service.
Step 1. Call Sirius XM Retailer Support at 1-800-852-9696 and let the agent know you are
doing a warranty exchange on a Subaru vehicle.
Step 2. Provide the agent with the old Radio ID and ask them to transfer the service on this radio
to the new Radio ID. Confirm with the agent that the old Radio ID has been deactivated.
(To find the Radio ID, go into satellite radio mode and tune to channel “0”, the Radio
ID will display for you, it will be 8 alpha-numeric characters long).
Step 3. Confirm which services you are transferring e.g. Audio only or Audio and Traffic.
Step 4. Ask the SXM Dealer support agent to send an activation signal to the new radio and
confirm the radio is working.   Retailers can also perform a signal refresh if necessary by
entering in the Radio ID into the following URL, www.siriusxm.com/oemrefresh
NOTE: If the unit is inoperative, call Sirius XM for assistance in identifying the existing radio ID
number.
HARMAN ONLY
All exchange units equipped with a Harman satellite radio will be reactivated by United Radio
prior to being shipped to the Retailer.
Caution: If swapping an audio system for diagnostic purposes, be sure the DCM remains with the
original vehicle or network communications will be severed.

AUDIO/NAVIGATION & POWER AMPLIFIER COMPONENT OUT-OF-WARRANTY
EXCHANGE / REPAIR PROGRAM
Vehicles outside the terms of the New Car Basic or Parts Warranties may utilize the Audio Exchange/
Repair Program which is to be referenced as an “Out-of Warranty Exchange Program”. Subaru Added
Security Gold Plus customers are entitled to this “out-of-warranty” exchange program when the
failure meets the terms of the Agreement.
The out-of-warranty exchange program is intended to enhance customer satisfaction by providing a
prompt exchange with a quality factory serviced audio unit which has been refurbished to the highest
standards.
  
All out-of-warranty orders will be subject to Supplier availability. In case of low stock, “in-warranty”
orders will take priority over “out-of-warranty” orders. In general, this program is for internal failures
and does not include exchanges for damage (spilled liquid, scratches, etc.) Speak with the Audio/
Navi. Supplier to determine exchange eligibility.
