Default Tuning into Sirius

Sorry if this is a dumb or a repeat question (I did try searching), but the other day I had my truck radio going (key to Acc) in the driveway and I wanted to try to tune the fm radio inside my house into the Sirius radio in my truck.
Is there a channel to do that on? Do you know what I mean?

Not a dumb question but you are not going to be able to do that, sorry. Why do you think your radio would be transmitting over the FM band?

You have to have a Sirius/XM receiver to get the signal. It's not transmitted over the regular FM band.

I know what your talking about, but that only works with the smaller aftermarket add on radios like the Stratus 6, Starmate, or Sportster with the FM transmittor. I used to have my FM radio in the garage and the XM radio on in my truck. I could listen to XM in the garage off my radio in the truck using the FM transmitter. But the Ram does not do this. Sorry.

This is why I was asking- with the little add on ones they do broadcast over an FM frequency, so say if you're working near a guy who has it going in his truck you could tune into 107.something (or something like that) and listen to whatever he was listening too. Was hoping to do it with my truck- no biggy; thanks!
