The SiriusXM Sound Station allows you to listen to all of the channels on
your SiriusXM Internet Radio subscription package using a wireless Internet
connection (Wi-Fi®).
You must be subscribed to SiriusXM Internet Radio to use the SiriusXM

subscription, or subscribe only to the SiriusXM Internet Radio service.
To subscribe to SiriusXM Internet Radio, go to
call 866-635-2349. When subscribed, you will be provided with your account
