Sirius antenas
So i have a serious beef with serius radio antenas. it seems that no matter how or were you place the antenas, after a couple of months they stop working. By this i men you get customers phonibg saying that their serius radio does not work anymore, it just says aquiring signal. now i have done lots of XM radios with no antena problems, and i am just wondering if anyone else seems to have problems with the sirius antenas or if it is just me.

I've found it to be the receiver and not the antenna when that happens. Try hooking up the receiver to a working system and you'll find it to pop up the "acquiring signal" screen shortly.
It's a quick OTC exchange for the client and they can call in to switch esn's. |

were stocking spare sirrius ant. now. that mite be an sign that they know of problems. Just a heads up, if your installing a Stilletto and it says "no ant detected" ..check you power to the unit. It wont recieve ant signal from the car without 12 volt

not always true jstar, when pulling antena thru firewall or with factory defect the antenna may break or be broken regardless of it being perfectly plugged in it will say antenna not detected, its generaly all or none in regards to the antenna working...what i mean by that is i havent seen any inbetween its been the antennna is %100 A OK or its %100 fubar

We have come across the same issue, install an unit and few months down the road the unit displays "Aquiring Signal".
Double check the Ant with no problems found, changed the ant problem solved, then a few days later the radio itself packed it in........we have exchanged more of the radios than the XM. That is why when people asked, I sell them XM. I have had nothing but problems with Sirius. |
