My unit has a aiming setting. Read your instructions. I believe you punch the aim button and drive in a circle, or whatever....don't know if it will help, but worth a try.
The atmosphere and time of the year, Sun activity also plays a part.

Maybe I'm totally clueless, but I don't have any instructions for the Sirius radio. "Aim button?" As I said, the dealer installed it. When I began looking at the TCH manual the only comments I found pertained to XM radio. No mention was made at all of Sirius. Perhaps the dealer should have given me a separate manual for the Sirius radio after they installed it.
Thanks again terry.

That is often the case, the technicians throwing away, or keeping the "installation manual".
Perhaps you can contact the dealer and get at least a copy, or if you know who makes the unit, their website should have all that....

Audio Screen

Does anyone know how to make the audio screen stay on the nav screen without reverting back to some other screen like the energy/consumption screen or the map screen?
Thanks

Aren't the "nav screen" and the "map screen" essentially the same thing?
There is a setting somewhere menus that will prevent the display from going back whatever screen you are currently on (whether it is an audio screen, destination screen, etc). Unfortunately, I can't remember where this is... The description of the setting is pretty self-explanatory.

On mine, pressing the "AUDIO" key (hard key, right side) brings up the audio screen and it stays there until I press the audio key, or press some other key, again. I assume yours should be the same.

It is under the "Info" button (the hard button on the left), "Screen Setting", "Automatic Transition.....". Turn the setting "OFF".

By "nav screen" I meant the display itself and by "map screen" I meant the actual displaying of the map on the navigation dsiplay. People do get very caught up on semantics on this page. Anyway, thanks for the info

My dealer says they don't even have the kit for SIRIUS. I would like to get it one of these days as it was one of my considerations when purchasing the car. Otherwise I love the car. I have had it since early July.
Anybody else find that they can't even get it installed through their dealer?

Best Buy, and all the larger audio chains have them, and mine carries a two or three year satisfaction guarantee, from them. If you're handy, Crutchfield has a pretty good selection as well, and offers online or toll free support to ensure you purchase the right wiring, parts and all of that.
