Hello,
I am wondering if any one has had any problems with their sat radio. I have had mine for a few months and all of a sudden it is stuck on 184 with "NO SIGNAL" I have not touched a thing with regards to the set up. Any ideas?
I just want to ask around before I start pulling stuff apart.
Thanks!

I have had mine for about 10 months now and listened to Sirrius regurlry with no issues.

The only thing that happens occasionally is the radio will turn on with a different input than what was on when it was turned off (shutdown with sattelite on and powered back up with FM)

Stuck on 184 with no signal means your subscription has expired or been turned off. Call SIRIUS.

I am stuck on 184 with no signal and verified that my service is indeed active until May. I have a service appointment next week to combat this and the "ghost" window malfunction. I will let you know my results. It is without a doubt faulty equipment.

Try unhooking the car battery for 15 minutes than hook it back up and start up the car... I had a problem where the music title would never change when the songs did - but after doing this it was normal. Its worth a shot.

THANKS GEE2,
That was easy, my "free" time was up. Got it up and running now. I think they should change it so that when your service is up or expired it would go so a specific Chanel.

Night Prowler - I had the same faulty window regulators and it took 2 dealers to correct the problem, do a search under window and you'll find my old thread which will also give you the TSB # for this problem, it should help you avoid the "it didn't do it while it was here" excuse from your dealer, good luck!

My SIRIUS has lost pre-sets 3-4 times during my 8 months of ownership. One day all is well, next startup only channel 184. Drive around and can then change to all channels but pre-sets are all reset to 184. Will mention to the dealer at next oil change, but very frustrating.

The only time mine switches inputs upon power up is when I shut the car off while still on a uconnect call. It's happened everytime I've done this. I don't listen to FM so I notice the switch everytime.

I get the switch also. I posted this LONG time ago and everyone thought I had been drinking too much before posting.

I do NOT use my UConnect, nor do I ever listen to FM Radio, so I notice it everytime.

I have eliminated the fact that it happens when I turn the car off with NO SIGNAL, because I have re-powered and it still stayed at Sat. Radio with no signal, so the cause is yet to be determined.

This sounds like the internal battery in your REC radio is cooked. Are you also losing your nav presets?
