just-larry Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 Just FYI, but whenever starting the car, pause slightly with your key (3-4 seconds) at the first "accessory on position" as this allows the Sirrius system to power up correctly....... sync with the radio, come on, operate properly, etc. If you start the car with a fast motion of the key (as most people do), about half the time, the Sirrius will not cycle on correctly, just static. just-larry SN 406 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give anything a try and this sounds plausible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helge Ruchelski Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 This is great info! What a pain it has been to turn car off, open door, close door, restart car....I have been doing this since I got the car almost every time. Car is in storage now, but can't wait to try this out!! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTH391 Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 My Sirius finally went dead. No more freebie. Oh well, I did get it free for 4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19again Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 My Sirius finally went dead. No more freebie. Oh well, I did get it free for 4 years. Bummer! I pray that doesn't happen to me or anyone else. You can get just music for about $125/year. I have it in my daily driver and I am spoiled.

just-larry Posted December 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 Larry is this something you found by accident or know by talking with Audiovox? I'll give anything a try and this sounds plausible. Have to say that finding this little solution was after a lot of fumbling around to include replacing ignition swicth which did nothing. I kept experimenting and PRESTO, this has not failed me in many trys. (Audiovox guys no help, but did get an owners manual out of them). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
