Yes. However, it depends on what is causing the acquiring signal message. It could be that you just have to replace the dock or antenna. But it could also mean the unit is going bad, in which case it would need to be repaired. www.tss-radio.com has a repair guy, though with that unit being discontinued for as long as it has, he may not have parts. You may have to search around for a replacement on amazon or ebay.

My radio is showing aquiring signal.how can i get it fixed

I heard these have a common problem with the antenna line breaking within the radio. I had it happen and replaced the radio. It's a shame since I'm sure I could have fixed it. I think it happens if the radio ends up hanging from the antenna lead. Any electronic tech or engineer should be able to check continuity from the antenna jack and find/fix it.

My sportster 5 satellite radio is not getting signal

Is it "Aquiring Signal" or "Antenna Not Detected"? It could be the antenna, the dock, or the radio itself. For whatever reason, the Sportster 5 seems more fragile in the dock connections. TSS Radio has a repair guy who can fix this issue. You can reach him via email at [email protected]

Aquiring Signal displays for 5-10 minutes before hearing audio

It's a bad Sirius tuner. You can find them on ebay for 50 or so rebuilt and they are better than new. It's cold solder joints on the antenna input plug. Hope this helps

Will not aquire satellites

okay so its a miracle. the nuvi is working again. the same week it stopped working (my previous post) i decided to make to trip to NY (i live in MA). halfway through CT almost getting to NY my nuvi kicked in again and started working perfectly again.

the problem did begin after i did the firmware updates and even after doing the hard reset nothing happened.
but i guess going for a long trip fixes it. well it fixed it for me. back in MA and no issues so far. i dont know how that makes sense but it worked.

Did you try setting the time precisely for your location - then wait a minute?
