sat button stopped working

The way I understand the system process is.
1. you push the start button
2. computer boots and checks status.. OK bring on the "big bat" on-line.
3. system then sends out a "Roll Call" for all the connected units to ping back through the cars "Auto LAN" system.

if they don't speak up then that unit/option must not be installed and there for not an option. I found this out in looking at adding a minidisc player to my '04... I would have had to get it from Japan...I think it was a Sony unit that was placed into the armrest storage area. never did add that... might look into it again... minidisc was very big in Japan.. Guess iPOD took over the world.

OH forgot to answer one of your questions... pressing AM did nothing until I installed the XM Radio... then POOF there was a SAT screen. and I think getting to the MiniDisc was through the Disc/Tape button... the third option... CD..Tape..MiniDisc..CD.. just like pressing AM with a SAT receiver does..

I have had this problem a couple of times with my Sirius. It seems that it is a problem with the Sirius radio. If I disconnect the cable to the Sirius and then reconnect it, it works again. This appears to reset the Sirius radio.

 

I just worked this out my unit stopped working in my 2008 car and after talking to TSS-radio where I bought the unit they recommended removing power from the unit, which required one of three things. Remove the Dash and pull the power plug and replug, disconnect the battery. Or as I figured out remove the fuse for the radio. In my car that is the fuse under the hood on the drivers side. The manual describes which fuse is for the radio. Worked like a charm. It was a 15 amp fuse. Just pulled and replaced it. Apparently this resets the unit. Hope this helps

 

Did you check that yr subscription did not get turned off unexpectedly? Bob

 

Even if the subscription expires, you'll still be able to switch to the satellite radio and get the emergency/weather channel.
