Default Sirius radio issue

I have a 2006 Town & Country with a RB1 radio. It supports Sirius radio. I want to get Sirius but I know I need the radio ID. According to the owner's manual, I need to turn the key to accessory, press the time and CD eject button for 3 seconds to get the code. This does not work.

My questions are:
1. Do you hold down both the hour and minute button while holding down the CD Eject button? Is it one or the other? There is no "time button present so I assume this is what is meant. I found a pic of the radio and I highlighted what buttons I tried to use:

2. Is the CD Eject being referenced the one on the player that holds the disk for the GPS or the one on the 5 disk CD changer?
3. Does the code show where the time is displayed (thew same place where the GPS info is shown) or is it shown on the dash where the millage is displayed?
4. I know Sirius was setup on the radio before for the last owner had presets to certain channels. Would Sirius have info on the radio via the car's VIN?

If you can't get the radio to show ID, look in the golve box through all of the material there should be some reference material or a label with the SID on it.

I called Sirius and they got the SID from the VIN. I got it working now and I'm enjoying it very much!
