My car always has a signal in my office parking lot and my driveway. Yesterday on the way home it was working and then i stopped at a client. I got back into my car and no sound. I tried changing the stations yesterday and that got me sound for about 10 minutes, then nothing. My dead zones last like 10 seconds and it's sunny yesterday and today. Its an older radio, but it works great (until yesterday), and it doesnt' need the antenna booster to get maximum sound. On the radio (sportster) it shows the signal at 3 bars on the bottom left corner. I've tried resetting it and the antenna is new (about a month or two)

Same problem in RI too. Acquiring signal stays on the screen 24/7. My husband has the same Sportster. When I plug his into my car docking station, it works fine. When I plug mine in, it says "Acquiring signal". Does this mean my radio is dead?

Hi guys!! I am a sirius satellite radio employee and unfortunately, when this happens (usually when the receiver is about 2 years old) the radio is pretty much shot. It is a common problem with the older sportster models, but not so much with the newer one. As the receivers are probably more than a year old, they are now out of warranty and the only resolution is to call us at sirius and say you want to cancel the subscription on the radio. When cancellation is imminent, we will offer to send you a replacement (although it will be a different unit not compatible with you current docking stations) at no cost to you. Sometimes an antenna replacement will actually stop the problem, but it will happen again very shortly afterward, and thus it is only a temp fix to a permanent problem. Hope this helps you out!!

Let me save you $30.00. A new antenna will not help, nor will cleaning the contacts. I just did both of those and it did not help. I have mine in the freezer right now cooling it down. Sirius told me that I should not leave it in the car because it gets to hot. They told me to buy another unit....
