1OVERVIEW
NOTE
1.1 Introduction
The GDL 69/69A SiriusXM Satellite Radio Activation Instructions are applicable to the following GDL 69
Series products:
MX20/GMX 200
G1000/G900X/G950
G500/G600
GNS 400/500 Series
GNS 400W/500W Series
GTN 6XX/7XX
The use of the term GDL 69 Series encompasses all the different models in this document unless otherwise
specified. The term GDL 69/69A SXM is used to indicate receiver models compatible with the updated
SiriusXM G4 satellite network.
The GDL 69 models are a weather data link only. The GDL 69A models combine a weather data link and
an audio receiver.
1.2 General Activation Information
Before activating, the GDL 69 Series must be installed in accordance with GDL 69 Series TSO Installation
Manual or GDL 69/69A Part 23 AML STC Install ation Manual. Before the GDL 69 Series can be used, the
unit must have active SiriusXM Satellite Radio subscriptions. This document will take you through the
process.
To activate a GDL 69 Series receiver, the Radio ID(s) are required. The Data Radio ID is for SiriusXM
weather while the Audio Radio ID is for SiriusXM audio entertainment (available only on
GDL 69A models). The Radio ID information is printed on a label affixed to the last page of this document
and can be retrieved electronically from the interfaced display unit. To activate a GDL 69 SXM receiver,
only one Radio ID is required (both Data and Audio use the same ID).
To activate service, refer to SiriusXM’s website at www.siriusxm.com/sxmaviation
(855) 796-9847.
, or call
1.3 Refreshing Activation
Refresh the unit if it has been inactive for more than one hour. Activation refresh can be performed through
the SiriusXM website at https://care.siriusxm.com/retailrefresh_view.action
website. If both data (weather) and audio packages need to be refreshed on a first generation GDL 69
Series, the refresh must be performed for each Radio ID.
If the aircraft has not been powered on for an extended period of time, the SiriusXM
subscription may have been automatically deactivated. In this event, the unit must be
refreshed.

2 MX20/GMX 200 ACTIVATION
NOTE
NOTE
The MX20/GMX200 must be configured to accept information from a GDL 69 Series unit in accordance
with MX20 Multi-Function Display Installation Manual or the GMX 200 Multi-Function Display Installation Manual. The complete activation process may take over 45 minutes, depending on the
demands of the SiriusXM activation system. Do not cycle or remove power from the units during the
activation process. It is recommended that the aircraft is outside and away from metallic structures. For
activation, you will need the SiriusXM Radio ID(s) and your billing information. The SiriusXM Radio IDs
are located on the Data Link Status page (see figure 2-1) and on the back page of this document.
GDL 69/69A units have separate Data and Audio Radio IDs, and will not function
correctly with both audio and data services activated under one ID. GDL 69 SXM
receivers use one Radio ID for both data and audio services.
2.1 Activation Steps
1. Ensure the aircraft’s SiriusXM antenna has an unobstructed view of the southern sky.
2. Connect aircraft to an external power source, if available.
3. With the MX20/GMX 200 and GDL 69 Series unit powered up, verify the yellow GDL 69 failure
flag is not displayed. A flag indicates potential communication issue between the
MX20/GMX 200 and GDL 69 Series unit.
4. Go to the SiriusXM Activation page.
a. Press the FN key until the FIS function is displayed. Press the FIS soft key.
b. Press the fourth soft key on the bottom of the page, until “STATUS” is displayed.

will be displayed (“Start Diag” is not displayed in software version 5.5).
e. Press the Diagnostics soft key.
f.The Activation page will be displayed.
5. To activate service, refer to SiriusXM’s website at www.siriusxm.com/sxmaviation
(855) 796-9847.
, or call
Specify subscription class when activating the data service. The activation process takes
approximately 45-60 minutes, but may take longer depending on system load. During the
activation process, the unit may display several differ ent activation levels. This is common
and should be ignored.
6. Once the service class and all of the weather products subscribed to are displayed, press the
Accept soft key . Wait 10 to 30 seconds to allow the GDL 69 Series to process the accept command
and lock in the activation.
