My xm radio won't turn on. How can i fix it? - XM Radio (XMP6000)

it sound like the xm tuner in the car is not working properly you sohould have it check at the dealer

Have you tried plutting it in directly to the power source with out the battery? If this works, it may be that the battery is dead, you can try to jump it by putting the battery in after it has already been turned on. Or just replace the battery:

If it does not power on, it could be the power cord is bad:

Otherwise, the unit itself may just be dead.

There's a few people on eBay that repair sirius radios in general. The only real way to save your lifetime sub is to take your XM Radio ID chip (containing the lifetime sub info), and place it in a new radio. You'd probably also need to find a working radio if you'd like that repair done (which isn't nearly as easy as I made it sound).

I have a Kenwood ddx6019 with XM satellite radio and sirius. i want to know how do i turn on the xm so i can get live traffic update and my garmin gps unit and weather. and were to i find the mx radio id for xm. i found it for sirius

I had the same problem. My 2008 Hyundai Azera had 37,800 and my wife went over a speed bump the XM radio went off and displayed "Not Ready". I raised the hood, pulled the negative battery cable for about a minute, replaced it and fixed the problem. Only issue is, this happens every couple of days. I'll probably continue to do this till my xm subscription runs out then to heck with it.

antennas are susceptible to damage in carwashes.

The radio has a code. If you have the car's manual it will tell you how to display the code on the radio screen. Subscribe to xm and give them the radio code, and that is it. Helpful Hint : If you just want music and news and not all the other programs . XM has a 9.99 per month subscription, they won;t tell you unless you ask.. Good luck

This problem is caused due to the fact that xm has designed there radios to completely shut off all power with the unit therefore the unit once off will not be able to recieve information from the remote. This manufacturing defect was confirmed by the xm representative, they also explained that the company is currently planning to fix this issue on the new 2009 model xpress rc

turn ignition on and disconnect your car battery then leave it on until its done loading if it still there then call xm and have then send an update good luck....

On the adapter cable if there is a separate cable for power connect the positive directly to battery power as opposed to ignition. The memory resides on the xmdirect2 module not on the head unit.
