Troubleshooting

SiriusXM Travel Link services use the SiriusXM GPS Satellite Signal to provide this feature.

When the vehicle is started, it can take up to five minutes for the radio to receive the Travel Link services.

Travel Link Messages No GPS Signal : Move the vehicle

into a position that is visible to the sky.

Acquiring Signal : Radio is downloading the activation information or not receiving a good signal. Move the vehicle to open sky and restart the vehicle.

No XM Signal : Reception is blocked. Move the vehicle into open sky.

Satellite Signal and

Radio Reception

Frequency interference and static can occur during normal radio reception if items such as cell phone chargers, vehicle convenience accessories, and external electronic

devices are plugged into the accessory power outlet. If there is interference or static, unplug the item from the accessory power outlet.

FM signals only reach about 16 to 65 km (10 to 40 mi). Although the radio has a built-in electronic circuit that automatically works to reduce interference, some static can occur, especially around tall buildings or hills, causing the sound to fade in and out.

The range for most AM stations is greater than for FM, especially at night. The longer range can cause station frequencies to interfere with each other. Static can occur when things like storms and power lines interfere with radio reception. When this happens, try reducing the treble on the radio.

SiriusXM®Satellite Radio Service

SiriusXM Satellite Radio Service gives digital radio reception from coast to coast in the 48 contiguous United States, and in Canada. Just as with FM, tall buildings or hills can interfere with satellite radio signals, causing the sound to fade in and out. In addition, traveling or standing under heavy foliage, bridges, garages, or tunnels may cause loss of the SiriusXM signal for a period of time.

Cellular Phone Usage

Cell phone usage, such as making or receiving phone calls, charging, or having the phone on may cause static interference in the radio. Unplug the phone or turn it off if this happens.

Multi-Band Antenna

The multi-band antenna is used for OnStar, the SiriusXM Satellite Radio Service System, and GPS (Global Positioning System), if the vehicle

has these features. Keep the antenna clear of obstructions for clear reception.

If the vehicle has a sunroof, and it is open, reception can also be affected.

Quick Info

Quick Info gives access to quick information on Audio playing, OnStar Turn-by-Turn route (if equipped), 5-day Forecast, Nearby Fuel Stations, and Movie Showtimes.
