How do I transfer a SiriusXM subscription to a new car?
Answer
Sign in to the SiriusXM account on the official website and use the New Car Transfer Service, or contact SiriusXM with both vehicles’ radio IDs. After the transfer, refresh the radio in the new car so the paid channels unlock.
Before you start: stop right away if…
- Only transfer through SiriusXM’s official site or app. Ignore unexpected calls or texts asking for remote access or gift-card payment.
Follow these steps
Find the new car radio ID
In the new car, turn on the SiriusXM radio or tune to channel 0 as the vehicle manual describes, and write down the radio ID shown on screen.
You should see: You have the radio ID for the new vehicle.
Sign in to SiriusXM
On a phone or computer, go to the official SiriusXM website and sign in to the account that holds the subscription.
You should see: The SiriusXM account dashboard opens for that subscription.
Start the New Car Transfer
Choose the New Car Transfer Service or the subscription transfer option, enter the new radio ID, and follow the on-screen prompts to move the plan.
You should see: SiriusXM confirms the subscription is assigned to the new radio ID, or asks for more account verification.
Refresh the radio in the new car
With the new car outdoors or in a clear signal area, turn the radio on and let it update, or use SiriusXM’s refresh/update option if offered for that vehicle.
You should see: Paid channels unlock in the new car, and the old car no longer shows the transferred subscription.

Extra tips
What to look for: The SiriusXM radio ID in the new car, the account email used for billing, and confirmation that the New Car Transfer or equivalent transfer option completed.
Before you change anything: Have the SiriusXM account email and the new car ready to show its radio ID. Note whether the old car still needs temporary access. Use only siriusxm.com or the official SiriusXM app. Never share account passwords with unexpected callers offering a “free transfer.”
