Weather products.
The optional XM
®
Radio entertainment feature of the GDL 69A Data Link
Receiver is available for the pilot’s and passengers’ enjoyment. The GDL 69A can
receive XM Satellite Radio entertainment services at any altitude throughout the
Continental U.S. Entertainment audio is not available on the GDL 69 Data Link
Receiver.
XM Satellite Radio offers a variety of radio programming over long distances
without having to constantly search for new stations. Based on signals from
satellites, coverage far exceeds land-based transmissions. XM Satellite Radio services
are subscription-based. For more information on specific service packages, visit
www.xmradio.com.
5.5.1 Activating XM
®
Satellite Radio Services
The service is activated by providing XM Satellite Radio with either one
or two coded IDs, depending on the equipment. Either the Audio Radio
ID or the Data Radio ID, or both, must be provided to XM Satellite Radio to
activate the entertainment subscription. The XM Satellite Radio Activation
Instructions are included with the unit (also available at www.garmin.com, P/N
190-00355-04).
It is not required to activate both the entertainment and weather service
subscriptions with the GDL 69A. Either or both services can be activated. XM
Satellite Radio uses one or both of the coded IDs to send an activation signal that,
when received by the GDL 69A, allows it to play entertainment programming.
These IDs are located:

Contact the installer if the Data Radio ID and the Audio Radio ID cannot be
located.
