Jensen MSR4050G Sirius Ready marine radio

Go back to where the direct tune display reads 000 and do not touch any buttons. After approximately 5 seconds the display will read ESN followed by a 4 digit number. Be patient it may take a few seconds to display. Write down the four digits then press the Disp button. The last 8 digits of the number will be displayed. You should have 12 digits total not counting ESN. I have the same model Jensen and this worked for me. The Sirius tech line did not have the correct process for this model. Good luck!

Hi sasutton,

SIRIUS-Ready radios are usually identified by the SIRIUS dog symbol appearing somewhere on the radio itself. A SIRIUS-Ready radio is a radio that may require the purchase of a SIRIUS tuner in order to be activated.

Every 90 minutes if you do not interact with the player, player display a notice and play a small audible alert to ask if you're still listening to the player. If you're not, the player will shut down after five minutes of the message being up there. If you are there, all you have to do is click the button and you can continue listening. Sirius player do this so that we're not streaming to computers that have no listeners, to maintain optimum performance for active listeners. You are probably not sitting at your computer when this message pops open which is why you get interrupted.



Good luck!
And Thanks.

Sirius Ready means that there is another piece the company makes that is for sale seperately from the reciever. you need to get the whole sirius system and it will just plug in and play through your existing setup.

You will find the maual you need by using the following link :

To get your Sirius ID number from you MR-17 JBL stereo, select the Mode button until it displays "Sirius". Then push and hold the Mode button for a couple seconds and it will chirp and display 3 blank spaces. Enter three zeros, "000" in these 3 spaces. The Zero is the loud button labeled "LD". When you do that, it will display your Sirius ID number. :)

Thank you.

Any Radio will work with Sirius if you use the FM feature and tune your radio to 107.1

I had the same problem and there are a couple of reason why you may not be able to get into Sirius Mode.

1. You have the wrong type of antenna (it must be a Sirius approved antenna)
2. You may not have installed the tuner (most Sirius ready units need require that you have a tuner hooked up to your unit to get satellite reception. The tuners are specific to your unit, so make sure you but the correct one. This is quite sneaky on Sirius’ part…but good luck).

Just take the fakra connector (plastic piece) off and it will be just like the sirius antenna end. Then buy a 10ft extention cable... I've just order mine and will have pics when done

Did You pay Sirius for their service?
