09KR0058 Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 After being in hibernation for most of the past two months, I've taken the KR a few times this week. Now my satellite radio is on the fritz. It will pick up a signal for a minute or two, then go to "Acquiring", then to "No Signal", then later it will come back on and repeat the process again, and again, and again. Anyone seen this before? Where should I start looking for the problem? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagledriver Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 This does this on my Bullitt every time I get it out of storage. Call Sirius and have them send a "activation/calibration" signal. Should be fine after that. They are sent monthly and if misses 2 in a row I believe it causes the receiver to error out like it does.

RmGardner Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 Think I had to call them also after I took it out of storage. I always had them shut it off and till I got it out and it saved me money.Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2010KonaBlueGT Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Think I had to call them also after I took it out of storage. I always had them shut it off and till I got it out and it saved me money.Rick I bought a LIFETIME subscription for just a little more than what a 3 year subscription would cost. It was just shy of $400 for the lifetme sub, plus taxes which brought it to just over 400 bucks. I'm not planning to sell the car and if I do, I'll have a sales bounus for the buyer (lifetime Sirrius). I've had my car down for at least two months and this time I took the batter out so I may find out if this subject has merit or not! I'm glad I read this before putting my car back on the road and finding out my Sirrius dosn't work. Phill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belltr Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 I pulled my SNAKE out this weekend it has been sleeping for a few months and I had to call SIRIUS to have them re send an activation signal for the same reason, It works great now...

09KR0058 Posted February 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Thanks for the replies. Will probably be driving her again tomorrow, so I'll give Sirius a call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
09KR0058 Posted February 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 It worked, and didn't even have to call them. You can log in to your account on the website, and have it send the activation signal. Did that from my iPhone, and within a couple of minutes it was working again.

FiaCobra Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 I cancel or put my account on "hold" during winter storage. I got smart last year when my "free trial run" ran out. SIRIUS called, and called, and called.....finally, they offered me $4 a month for 6 months. I said "Sure, I'll sign up for that." They wanted to take my credit card info to process the account. Ahhhhh, no, I'm NOT going to fall for that one (They'll give you the 6 months for $24 but will lock you in for the remaining months at full price and you'll have to go round and round with them to cancel the account) I told the guy to bill me instead. He fought me over the matter but I insisted he bill me or this phone conversation is over. He billed me. I just let the 6 months run out and then start over again. They're already starting to call.....lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
