Gen 3 Prius (Audio/Electronics) :: How To Save Or Change A Preset Satellite Radio Station
I just got my Prius Four, not IV, 2013 and the satellite radio stations are already preset. How do I delete theirs, then save my own?
View 4 RepliesTouareg :: Nav Unit On The Radio Tab To Change Stations
I notice i need to have the nav unit on the "RADIO" tab to change stations with the FM1 and FM2.
however, if i have the nav unit on the "MAP" tab, and want to change stations, i need to switch back to the "RADIO" tab and make the switch.
Isn't there an easier way to swap between radio stations without needing to go back into the "RADIO" tab? for example if you play with the knob on the steering wheel, it flips through some already pre-assigned stations that the radio takes on when the unit is turned on. of course none of these are the my presets.
Golf/GTI VI :: Satellite Radio Sound Quality Is Bad
I've had my MK6 GTI for about 4 months now, and this is my first car with a satellite radio (RCD-510). I honestly don't know much about sat radios, or what to expect from them. I have the Dynaudio package. I run my head-unit with all the sliders in the middle right now.
I am not impressed with the sound quality of Sirius (or Ipod MEDIA-IN for that matter), to me Sirius sounds like low quality mp3 stream, less than say 128kbps. It sounds "muddy" and unclear, highs don't have definition and lack dynamic range. There is even some static between let's say hi-hat strikes or other crisp notes. Normal FM radio sounds better, and CD or good mp3 files on SD card even better. Sirius sounds so bad that it is practically worthless to me, comparable to AM reception.
Golf VI R :: How To Turn Off Satellite Radio And Other R Sound System
Just bought a new R with the premium sound system and can't figure out how to disable the lame satellite radio. I am fortunate that Seattle has great local radio stations but have had to listen to BS satellite radio or my IPhone. I tried to follow the useless manual instructions to no avail. How to shut it off and enable real radio stations?
Also I am wondering what upgrades people have done on their stereo systems? The system sounds OK but having worked in a car stereo shop in the past I am a bit picky. What brand the stock speakers are and what brand and size aftermarket can be installed without weilding a nibbler or jig saw? Does the stock radio have RCA or other low power outputs to run an external Amp?
Golf/GTI VI :: 2013 - Satellite And Radio Signals Go In And Out All The Time
I am back in a GTI, after totaling my MK4 a year ago, and I just got my new '13 Autobahn, and I have already noticed that the satellite and radio signals go in and out all the time.
Is this a common issue, or is there a fix for it?
Golf/GTI VII :: Satellite Radio Stuck On Acquiring Signal?
I have a valid subscription and already tried refreshing the signal. I'm not even getting the preview sound. All other features and bands work fine. Tried resetting everyone to no avail.
View 3 RepliesSonata I45 (LF 2015+) :: Radio Randomly Changing Bands
Recently a strange problem has started occurring with my car's radio (I've had the car for about 3 weeks). I usually listen to SiriusXM. When I start the car, it'll stay on SiriusXM for about 5 seconds or so and then sometimes it will randomly switch to either AM or FM radio on its own and I have to manually switch it back. I don't think it's a loss of signal issue as the radio will play SiriusXM just fine before it jumps to another band.

First, the Touareg navigation radio has two AUX inputs, plus a telephone audio input. One AUX input is an AUDIO/VIDEO input. The other is an AUDIO only input. Below is a photo of two Dietz cables connected to the two different AUX inputs:
How to actually connect these cables and what parts are required would be too lengthy a post for this thread. So if you want to know these details, click on the link shown in my signature below.
Golf/GTI VI :: Rubber Bands Inside Dash?
That's a rubber band stretched across the inside of my dash behind my stereo. Is that OEM or normal??? What happens when it finally snaps?

I get really crappy reception. Sometimes it just doesn't work at all. I have Sirius on other cars and I was able to get reception on them. Sometimes if I'm stopped I just re-boot the car and sometimes I get signal so I don't think its all an antenna issue.

My sat radio says No Signal. Sirius checked it out and said everything was fine on their end. I checked the antenna and it is OK. I am thinking there may be a problem where the antenna connects to the Satellite box but I don't know where they store it to check it. Under the seat?? Under the trunk?? Behind the dash??
View 5 RepliesPrius (2010-12) :: Radio Works But Satellite Won't?
I have a 2012 Prius hatchback. For the last 3 years the satellite works just fine however for some reason about a month ago it just stopped finding a signal? The FM and AM radio load just fine (even though the signal typically stinks) but when I go to a Sirius channel it just says "loading" and I never get a signal. I called Sirius they did all kinds of test signals over the air but could not find an issue. They told me I should go to the dealer..

I have a 2008 GS350 AWD with Mark Levinson sound. There is a satellite radio button but nothing happens when I push it. Do I need to locate the number and get it activated before it'll work?
View 4 RepliesLexus GS 2006-11 :: Satellite Radio Installation Process?
I have a 2009 GS350.
Its Satellite radio ready, meaning it has a SAT button and it has the shark fin antenna on the roof. When you push the SAT button nothing happens. I was told I need to get the unit installed. I am assuming all the wires are run through the car and its just a simple plug and play, but I'm thinking that would be too easy. Also where does the unit get installed? Where to even look to see if the wires are there.
Gen 3 Prius (Audio/Electronics) :: Satellite Radio Fades In And Out
Every now and then, my satellite radio fades in and out. I cannot pin it on rain as it sometimes happens when it is clear. I can hear programming, but only 1 second samples, with fuzz for a second then again, 1 second of programming.

Happened for the second time in 5 days this morning. Radio starts up and says reinitializing and then comes back with all presets to 184. Don't like this happening!!
View 5 RepliesPassat (B6) :: High Pitch Beep From Satellite Radio After Braking?
I'm on my 4th passat. Have an 08 Komfort. This by far is my most favorite of the 4 passats I've owned. This is the first VW I have had with satellite radio. I noticed not long after I got it that I could hear a high pitched beep that lasted maybe 3 or 4 seconds while I was listening to the satellite radio. It seemed to just happen at random times. I took it on a 500 mile trip a few weeks ago and I just figured out exactly when this happens............it happens when I hit the brakes while I am listening to sirius only. It doesn't happen while listening to FM or AM (I didn't try a CD). It doesn't do it every time, but at least 50% of the time. It almost always seems to happen if I have the cruise control on and I hit the brakes to disable it. I'm going to mention it to the dealer when I take it in for service.
View 1 RepliesTouareg :: Satellite Radio Randomly Resetting / Losing Presets?
The thing just randomly will dump it's station preset memory and I'll turn the car on and all my stations will be gone and replaced with 184 (weather, i think). Everything else is fine, FM is fine, and it remembers everything else... it just loses SR1/SR2 presets. Very odd.
