I downloaded the SiriusXM app to my phone (Pixel 2). Tap the icon, streams thru the phone to the car (M3SR+). Simple.

How to get Sirius/XM in a Tesla

Depends on your provider. I have Verizon with a SXM streaming subscription and I rarely lose signal. Your mileage may vary. I’m super pleased with my streaming service.
whenever anyone wants info on an actual satellite connection in the model 3, everyone always randomly replies with the "just use your phone" bit, rather than actually providing any help or info on how to get that connection in the car. it's dismissive of those of us who want an actual satellite connection as if we're all idiots because we won't "just stream it on our phone."
someone (correctly) pointed out that it doesn't work when you have no cell service...and you chimed in with "my service is great!"
that's moving the goalposts. yes, it works when service is great...but that isn't what the question was.
"how well does it work when you have no cell service?" the correct answer is: "it doesn't." period, end of story.
i just finished a road trip from southern california to phoenix, then through sedona to the grand canyon and back. i would estimate that for about 30-40% of that drive i would have been sitting in silence, had i tried to "just stream it through my phone." luckily i have a portable XM unit installed and had no issues with losing my entertainment at any point, save for a few deep canyons near sedona.
