I have a 2008 dodge ram slt and cant get information displayed on the screen,song names and such through sirius radio.Do they all display or maybe the model i have dosent.Thanks Albert.

I would do a google search on the radio for a manual. Usually you can download an adobe manual onto your computer for future reference.

this might have an anti-theft radio that when the battery power is taken away the radio goes into lockout mode. there is a code that needs to be programed to get it to work. check your owners manual it maybe in there or go to the dealer. you can try a radio shop they maybe able to help.

Is your subscription to Sirius still active ? Maybe you forgot to renew it ?

I have similar issue. Signal easily lost whenever there isn't a truly clear path to sky. My old cheapie XM radio add-on was MUCH better. I'm taking this back to my dealer tomorrow for other issues with the "top of the line" DVD/NAV/XM system. Such as it won't read the data on most CD's and display names of tracks (maybe 1 CD will display out of 10); and the way the radio truncates the Sirius/XM titles, etc. to much less than the full available screen (my cheapie add on did a better job). For $2,000+ bucks this is a very disappointing audio/GPS system. Sound is mediocre as well. This must be a huge profit center for Toyota -- cheap components + high price = $$$ for them.

Did Sirius resend a signal? If it is displaying their number it is likely that your subscription needs to be updated. The fact that it displays their info means it is likely receiving a signal. If it said "no tuner" or nothing at all, it would likely be the tuner. You can resend a signal online here:

If that does not work, replacement kits are available here:

I bought a used 2008 Ram 1500 SLT Sport; satellite would stay stuck on channel 184 with no sound, etc.

Solution: Disconnect negative wire from vehicle battery; wait 1-hour then reconnect. This clears satellite radio cache (a.k.a. hard reset).

Turn on satellite radion; Call Sirius support to send activation signal. Wait on phone with tech support; may take them 2 - 3 tries to get signal to take on radio.

Hit eject button and clock button at same time. Ur Id number will show up. It will only show 4 numbers at a time. Hit seek button 2 more times to get the rest of the numbers

I read the manual and found out that the reason the track title information does not display is because you need to set the text scroll setting to manual.

Go to settings
Display
Text Scroll

set this to manual.

Should be fixed!

I have the same problem. When Sirius sent me a new "update" signal, I lost more channels. They don't have any idea. Did you figure out how to reset?

I believe it's actually a firmware issue with the SIR-KEN1. I havethe same setup and have the same exact problem. I have to cycle thru my "SRC" button and get back to Sirius for it to work. Not a happy camper. I read on the Sirius Backstage forums about the firmware, although I have written Directed Electronics (SIR-KEN1 manufacturer) and never received a response.
