In reading the guidance and suggestions in these forums, I bought a Sirius Radio and Antenna for my vehicle. I decided to do this install in phases in order to ensure all is working as I went along.

First, I installed the unit. It was not that difficult. When I finished, I turned on the car and everything sync'd up ok. All the other devices worked (Nav-Radio-CD). When I pressed the Sat button it gave me the "Searching for signal" screen. I pressed info and I got the ISN #.

I then installed the antenna. There were two antenna leads prewired (White and Blue). The radio only has one antenna input (Blue in Color). The blue was the only connector that fit into the radio. So it was blue-blue.

Under the trunk panel, there are two connectors. Each fit in its own connection into the antenna. I did not drill into my trunk. The wires were long enough for me to have the antenna rest on the trunk.

When I started the car, all worked ok as before, but the unit will not stop "Searching for Signal". After about 20 minutes, I moved the car to the street with a more open sky view. Same results.

I tried disconnecting and reconnecting the cables with no luck.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

What is the Sirius radio? The quality of their receivers varies widely. I tried using the Stiletto for portability and when it broke on me I actually felt good since I would never have to use it again.

You can actually get decent customer service out of them if you threaten to cancel.

 

golfer38, Have you ever figured out what the problem was? I have the exact same issue with my 2004 S600. Please let me know. Thanks, Brian
