I was driving home from work the other day listening to the sat radio when all of a sudden it cut out - no sound, no sat info on the display. I could still get regular radio and the cd player, but when I would press the sat button it would read "no sat".
I have Sirius and did the install myself about 9 months ago without ever having any problems. I called Sirius to see if my account was ok and they said everything was fine.
First thing I tried was just to "reboot" the car, but I still didn't get anything on the sat. Since I was getting a "no sat" mesage instead of the familiar " acquiring", I figured the signal must not be getting to the head unit. I checked all the connections on the sat receiver in the back and everything was fine. Although the receiver was very hot - almost too hot to touch. Is this normal?
Then I squeezed my hand behind the head unit up front and did the technical "wire jiggle" since I did not want to have to remove the head unit. When I tried the sat radio again, it worked this time. I did notice that all my sat radio presets were erased.
This morning, going to work, I had no problems. Has anyone else out there had a similar problem???? The connectors on the wiring harness snapped into place so I wouldn't think it would be a loose wire? Could something have overheated?
