NZ500 with Sirius forgets presets

You need to find power that is not controlled by the key,I would suggest connecting directly to the battery

I am having the exact same problem with my CMD6. The sirius worked fine with my CMD4, but has the same problem with constantly rebooting when I hook it up to the CMD6. Did you find a solution?

I would recommend returning to the dealer you purchased from and having it sent in for warranty repair.

• [P/A] button Performs category scan while in the SIRIUS mode.When the button is pressed and held, preset scan is performed.
• [DIRECT] buttons Stores a station into memory or recall it directly while in the SIRIUS mode.
• [ > '' ] (play/pause) button Select a category [<<] rewind, [>>] fast forward button Press the button to select a station.
• [FNC] button Press the button to switch the operation mode among the SIRIUS mode, etc.

The "hard wired" version that you speak of apparently only refers to the power supply.Do you have a seperate display for the Sirius unit? Now, you failed to mention the type of radio (factory or aftermarket); so, if you have to use an "empty radio station" then you have an FM modulator. This modulator could wired or wireless. The wired version interrupts the vehicle antenna wire and the station on said modulator is usually preset to either 88.1, 88.3,88.7, or 89.1. There is no need to power this modulator up, it comes on when then Sirius comes on. One way to check for power is to turn on the Sirius unit and tune your radio to an occupied Fm station. Wait a few seconds and listen to the reception. Turn off the Sirius unit, the reception should improve for the occupied station. If it is a wireless FM modulator it also has preset stations that you can change but, extending the wieless antenna will greatly improve your reception of the Sirius stations.

i have encountered same problem. mine was done through removing the negative terminal of the battery for a few minutes. fix it again and problem solved.

there is more than 1 channel you can set to on sirius try setting your fm to 108 and set siriuus to same if you go into yor sirius tuner you can use the up and down arrows to tune in the stations

The only way to really tell what's up is to take it to a car audio shop that sells clarion and have them plug it in to one of their units. This model had a high fail rate. Don't try to send out for repair! it will take forever! You can replace it for 50 from crutchfield. Hope this helps

Hi Gil, not sure what you mean by RE-setting presets but I assume your using a dock of some kind, and in that case you simply tune to the station you desire then hold down the preset number you'd like to set it to. It will overwrite the previous setting. hope that helps.

Did You pay Sirius for their service?
