Problems with Sirrius Radio

Any one have issues with the factory Sirrius radio? Two days ago I started my truck and the radio clock had re-set. No known power interuptions to the radio or truck in general. All my FM band presets were still in memory but my Sirrius presets had been lost. Then when I tried to change Sirrius channels it would go from channel 1 to channel 107. Above channel 107 it hit every channel to 185 but would never tune to anything between 1 and 107. Today I have only channel 185 on Sirrius. It will not change up or down from that one channel.

I'll call the dealer when I have the oportunity but if any one else has experienced this and found an easy fix please let me know.

When channel 185 is the only channel you get that usually means your subscription has run out.

I had the same problem with mine. Subscription was good. I disconnected the batteries, after both batteries were disconnected, I touched the ground to the hot cable to help discharge and currents. hooked them back up had sirrius reset the signal

Hmmm, I'm seeing a trend here.

My subscription was up today but it had been paid previously and verified last night that payment had been received. Was told no problem. This morning, I went out and had Ch 1 and 184.

15 minutes wasted on the phone and everything was back in line. I find it odd though that it happened to so many people today, however.

It also happened to me yesterday morning. That happens when they update the channels. Just give it a few minutes and turn it off and back on and it should be all right.

Same thing happened to me yesterday morning. Sirius did a channel update so it took a few minutes for the download to be completed.

Yeah same thing happened to me, someone activated it already so your 1 year subscription isn't gonna be a year for you that is.

Back to normal this morning. Thanks for the information about channel updating causing this issue. Does your clock on the radio change when the updates are done by Sirrius? That would seem to be something else and should not be affected by Sirrius.
