You've Got Questions? We've Got Your Back.

What is Stolen Vehicle Locator (SVL)?

SiriusXM Connect Stolen Vehicle Locator (SVL) Portal offers secure, compliant access to real-time and historical vehicle location data to support officers in resolving active stolen vehicle cases and exigent circumstances.

What is the SVL Portal?

The SVL Portal is a secure, law enforcement–only platform that allows authorized officers to:

• Check whether a reported stolen vehicle is equipped with SiriusXM Connect SVL
• Submit lawful requests for vehicle location data
• Monitor the status of their requests
• Review vehicle location data for approved, active cases 

Who can access the SVL Portal?

Access is restricted to verified law enforcement personnel. Users must register with their official agency credentials and complete identity verification. Access to information regarding a specific SVL case is limited to law enforcement officers authorized to investigate that SVL case.  

What types of vehicles are supported?

Only vehicles equipped with SiriusXM Connect services that include SVL capabilities are eligible. 


Within the portal, you can check to see if a vehicle is eligible by entering a valid VIN. 

Does SVL work on all SiriusXM-Equipped Vehicles?

No - while many vehicles are equipped with SiriusXM Radio, only specific vehicles have connected vehicle services capable of SVL.  The presence of a satellite radio in a vehicle is unrelated to whether the vehicle is equipped to receive SiriusXM Connect connected services. To confirm a VIN is equipped, you may use the VIN search in the SVL Portal. 

What new features does the SVL Portal offer?

• Direct notifications to authorized officers (email, SMS, or portal)
• A secure law enforcement portal for case monitoring
• A streamlined process for submitting Exigent Circumstances requests
• Reduced delays in receiving location updates due to direct communication to investigating officers

Is the Stolen Vehicle Locator Portal secure?

We have put in multiple authentication layers to ensure only verified officers can access the SVL Portal. 

How do I create an account?

1. Navigate to the SVL Portal login page
2. Select “Sign Up”
3. Enter your official agency email 
4. Create a secure password
5. Complete email verification
6. Login & provide required agency credentials
7. Submit for approval

How long does account approval take?

Account approval typically takes 24-48 hrs.

Will the site request permissions?

Yes, depending on functionality, you may be asked to allow location access.

Can multiple officers from the same agency register?

Yes. Each officer should create their own profile and set their notification preferences.

What types of requests are supported?

Initiation of stolen vehicle location service without the owner’s validated consent, or for purposes unrelated to recovery of a stolen vehicle, require a valid court order or search warrant demonstrating probable cause that must meet the requirements set forth in and be submitted in a manner consistent with our Vehicle Location Policy available at https://siriusxmconnect.com/vehicle-location-policy/.  In cases of an emergency in which bypassing ordinary search warrant procedures is necessary due to an imminent threat of serious bodily harm or death to an individual, an Exigent Circumstances request may be initiated from the SVL Portal. Prevention of damage to or recovery of property or speculation that a vehicle may be used in future violent crimes is not considered an Exigent Circumstance.

How do I submit a request for exigent circumstances?

In your case list, you will have a + button to add additional cases. 

You can enter the VIN to determine whether it is capable of SiriusXM Connect connected services. 

If it is, you can then click the "Submit with Exigent Circumstance" button to fill out the paperwork in its entirety and submit the case for review. More information on the requirements for a valid Exigent Circumstances request are available at  https://siriusxmconnect.com/vehicle-location-policy/.  

Note that if an SVL is already in progress for this vehicle, you will be notified immediately and the Exigent Circumstances request will not submit. 

What should I do if the VIN cannot be found?

If the VIN is not found, then the vehicle is not equipped with SiriusXM Connect SVL connected services and therefore is not compatible with the portal functionality. 

Do I still need to call and leave a voicemail?

Your submission will be processed immediately, but you may still contact us after submitting search warrants or court orders if you have any additional questions. 

How do I know if my request was received?

You will receive a confirmation email and be able to follow the status of the request within the portal.

What happens if my request is denied?

A case may be rejected if it does not meet our Exigent Circumstances case requirements. You will be notified when a case is rejected, and may contact us to provide additional information. 

Can I see past vehicle locations?

The portal includes historical location data and map-based vehicle location only for open and active SVL cases you are authorized to investigate. Available historical location data begins from the time of SVL activation.

How can I find more information about closed or past cases?

Closed cases are not accessible through the portal. Historical SVL case information may require a valid search warrant or court order. For more information, please see our Vehicle Location Policy at  https://siriusxmconnect.com/vehicle-location-policy/.

Can I reopen a closed case?

A case cannot be reopened on the portal after it has been closed. If a case was accidentally closed, or needs to be extended - Please contact us directly. 

What should I do if the vehicle location appears incorrect?

You can report inaccurate data directly through the portal.

Can I update the case when a vehicle is recovered?

Yes. Officers can submit case updates, including recovery status, through the portal.

Will I see cases before location data starts coming in?

Yes. Pending cases may appear before the first location is received.
