Factory stereo issue

[taterthedog]

Have the factory stereo with satellite radio and had it on a country station. Then I noticed it started to get staticy. Looked down and it was on regular radio, and no more satellite option when pressing AUX. Anyone have this happen?

Turned the truck off and when I restarted it Siruis radio was back. Weird. I wonder if the antenna is on the way out or something and the stereo can sense it.

This worked for my brothers truck... He had a similar issue, after I did this no problems since..



Refreshing your radio is like restarting your computer- if something is acting up, refreshing your radio should fix it.

If you're near your radio NOW
The refresh signal will be sent from a satellite, so make sure your vehicle is outside and your antenna has a clear view of the sky.
Start your car, turn your radio on and tune to Channel 184 for Sirius radios or Channel 1 for XM and SiriusXM radios.
You'll need to enter your Radio ID/ESN, so have it handy.
enter your Radio ID, and then click Send Activation Request.
Your refresh signal should reach your radio within 5 minutes.
