Missing channels? Lost your satellite signal? Here's how to refresh the SiriusXM radio in your car.

Refreshing your radio is like restarting your phone- if you're missing channels or having trouble with your signal, a refresh should fix it. Here's how to get your Radio ID (ESN) and send the refresh/activation signal to your radio.

I was missing channels since I activated my new/ used radio last week. Tried the refresh, and it actually worked! Can't believe it but it's true.

my siriusxm radio shut off yesterday. can not even turn if on. in my 13 yrs as siriusxm radio subscriber never had this happen to me.

Did not solve my problem. Every other selection works except SAT, and I am subscribed. SOS failure the problem?

[kristensmith]

Didn't work for me.
Updated pkg and hasn't worked since. Get sporadic sound but then no signal. Representatives said I wasn't getting a satellite signal now and needed to take to dealership. Crazy that since pkg update, no signal and then it will go in and out very briefly.

I enjoy siriusxm very much but I'm not getting the channels I have been enjoying. I was told that I would not be paying any more money till September, now here I am trying too get! My signal refreshed for about 3ta 4 hours now . Disappointed that is for sure.

Lost all my channels. I can get to some of them above channel 10. I don't use twitter so how do I reset my radio or do I simply cancel my subscription?

2016 Subaru legacy hasn’t shown a list of channels for years. Just finger pointing between Subaru and Sirius.

What about “check antenna” message ?

Usually a cable ?

[donjames]

You assume I know how to tune my satellite radio to channel 0. Bad assumption.

[dougshankle]

The issue I have is that Sirius XM literally bounces from channel to channel on its own so much so that it's unlistenable.

My sirius xm decided to remove channel 100 Howard Stern and I don't know why. I sat outside for 20 minutes waiting for a code that never came. What can you do at your end to help me get my channels back?

Why is there an ad in front of this customer support video?

[xxdenyxx]

Do these come with Bluetooth capability or AUX ?

[randyhickey]

I can't switch to channel XM2. The only channels I can switch to is 0, 1, and 160 -> 179

[coachjimbo]

im trying to sign in on my computer. It says it has temporarily been disabled. WHY??

[FreeYourMind]

I still can’t do it says reception is blocked

[rellaschrimpsher]

Where can I find Southern Gospel ch on my Sirius XM radio?

[brotherspeed]

All ours does is load won't go to anything

[marchon]

Couldn't get to channel 0. found no problems with the diagnositcs by resetting radio to factory settings. Nothing helped.
