What are platforms?

Platforms refer to the technology your satellite radio was built upon (Sirius, XM, or SiriusXM) and determine which plans you can receive.

For example:

  • The Lynx and Edge radios are on the SiriusXM platform.
  • The Onyx and XM3pi radios are on the XM platform.
  • The Sportster and Starmate radios are on the Sirius platform.

You can see which platform your factory-installed SiriusXM radio uses by entering your vehicle information on our SiriusXM availability page. Channel lineups may vary based on the platform your radio was built upon.
