My JVC car radio/CD player only allows me to scan for stations

It simply means "source". These radios typically have AM/FM, CD, auxiliary (1/8" plug), USB, and some XM/Sirius input selections. The source button is how you choose.

If you have all the devices hooked up correctly using the JVC/Sirius interface. It does not recognize it if it's defective. Most common problem sirius/xm has. The miniport for the antenna connection has a bad solder joint and thus is inop. if it does turn on by chance, it will say "acquiring signal" and that's it. If it's new get it replaced. If it was working prior to this, and it's out of warranty, go on Ebay and get a rebuilt tuner, their about 50.00 and more reliable than new. Hope this helps

Hi it is the Sirius and Xm merger. The channel's being changed are normal. My XM radio did the same thing a month ago.

I called XM Radio and told them my problem. They told me to park my car in the drive way and turn on my XM Roady, an within the next three hours they would send a signal from the sattelite to fix the radio. Withing less than 30 minutes they had fixed it, and it works fine now.

XM and Sirius radios have merged and that is what caused the problem.

Sirius radio connects via a special dock. Sorry, but you're screwed with your XM unit...

From my experience, you can not integrate the vehicle Satellite equipment into aftermarket audio pieces. You will have to buy a JVC specific Sirius tuner or use an Fm modulated unit.

I am having exactly the same problems. No sirius and ipod has to be turned up very loud to hear at all. The problem appeared suddenly friday night with no movement of accessories. It was working when I turned it off and wasn't when I turned it on a few hours later. I have checked connections and reset unit with no success.
