20 Most Recent Sirius Satellite Radio S50-TK1 Satellite Radio Receiver with Car Kit Questions & Answers

TRY REMOVING THE BATTERY AND PLACING IN CAR DOCK. THE UNIT SHOULD POWER UP, IF NOT THE RADIO IS N/G. I RECIEVED THAT INFO FROM SIRIUS TECH SUPPORT

Huh?

No i dont think so i think that either these two channels are no longer part of the package or you need to pay more subscription to get them than your paying now ,have you tried tuning these channels in on another preset button?? doubt if they will work though i think its more likely that they are no longer available

TSS Radio for S50 battery.

Radio Shack for remote battery.

I picked one up online from TSS Radio.

I had the exact same problem happen to me yesterday with my S50. My guess is that the software got corrupted somehow. I fixed mine last night be reinstalling S50 software via USB cable to my PC. Note: You need My Sirius Studio application loaded on your PC. Be sure to press Exit button on My Sirius Software Ap after you reinstall S/W. Patiently wait for S50 to 100% complete before disconnecting. Then, manually turn on S50 (while holding in your hand); do NOT put in car/home dock yet. S50 will then update S/W. When this completes, now you can put in dock. I don't exactly recall, but I think the S50 indicated the dock was being updated, then it defaulted to channel 184 indicating to call Sirius to subscribe. Since I already have a subscription in place on my S50, I just pressed channel 2 (The Blend) from my remote, and then my S50 began updating all channels. Success! I'm so happy my S50 is now working again! Good luck to others experiencing same problem; hope this helps! I can only imagine the frustration trying to get help from Sirius folks for this type of problem...

Bad luck, it seems. I don't think these devices were made with repairs in mind. You may have to buy a new S50. You can get some cheap on eBay or Google for any place with closeouts. If you get a new one, I'd suggest a Speck case for it. http://www.speckproducts.com/for-s50.html But don't pay that price for it. Again, you can Google for Speck case and get some cheap. I got four cases for $10.00.

Look for a reset button. I had a problem with my MP3 player, where it wouldn't start at all. Pressed the reset button and off it went.

I am having the same exact problem!!!

It may be that the dock isn't working, I would return it for a new one to the place that you bought it from to make sure that you have a dock that works.
