SIRIUS Travel Link - If Equipped With Navigation
SIRIUS Travel Link is a subscription-based service, and requires a separate subscription from the satellite radio. When a SIRIUS Travel Link subscription is activated, the ESN of the satellite radio receiver built into the ACM is associated with the VIN and registered in the SIRIUS database. The SIRIUS 12-digit ESN can be obtained by tuning to channel 0, accessing "AHU Part Numbers" in Bezel Diagnostics, or by referencing the label attached to the ACM.
SIRIUS Travel Link allows the customer to receive information for:
- Fuel Prices (stations, fuel type)
- Movie Listings (theaters, movie titles, ratings, start and run times)
- Ski Conditions (resorts, lodging, conditions)
- Sports (in-game and final scores, weekly schedules, headlines)
- Traffic (traffic flow, accidents, construction, road closings)
- Weather (current weather, forecasts, radar images)
The SIRIUS Travel Link feature requires the use of an APIM equipped with navigation.
The satellite radio antenna receives digital signals containing Travel Link data. The time intervals that the antenna receives the signals for each Travel Link category to update the data vary depending on the category. These signals are sent through the satellite radio antenna coaxial cable to the satellite radio receiver built into the ACM. The satellite receiver decrypts the data and the ACM sends it to the APIM through the SDL circuits. Certain date-dependent features (such as sports schedules and scores, movie times, and the 5-day weather forecast) require the use of GPS data for accuracy. The APIM processes the data from the ACM (together with GPS data obtained from the GPS coaxial cable for date-dependent features that require the use of GPS data for accuracy) and sends it to the FDIM to be displayed.
