How do you get the ESN for Sirius from a Kenwood kdc-MP2032?

It will scan across the screen on the preview channel and it is also printed on the box. Just to let you know, it doesnt come equiped with sirius, it is "sirius ready". You need to buy a sirius universal tuner box and kenwood adapter for sirius. This will run you around $100. Being sirius ready just means it has the connection for the tuner, not that its built in.

Why isn't the green which meridian straight?

Because a straight line up and zooms right off the surface of the earth. Since the earth is a sphere (ball) only curved lines can stay on the surface. The meridian may not be a straight line, but it's the shortest possible distance between its ends, and you can prove it: The ends of the meridian are the north and south poles. Take a globe and a rubber band. When you stretch a rubber band between two points, it always follows the shortest path. Stretch the rubber band between the north and south poles of the globe. Make sure it goes across Green Which, and you'll see that it exactly follows the Prime Meridian.
