Default Intermittent XM Satellite Radio Reception

My Sirius XM Satellite Radio signal in my 2007 XK convertible is often out with the message stating that is is acquiring the signal. However, AM/FM/CD works fine. I have worked with Sirius XM support who has reset the signal several times which does not resolve it. Has anyone had this before and know of a solution?

Sometimes, not often, the SAT antennas get gooey from corrosion and need replaced. Or maybe the connection is loose?

I could never get my 07 to connect to XM. It would never link up to the sat signal .. maybe it was the antenna, but in the end just use a bluetooth xmitter to my phone and stream XM, Tunein etc from the phone apps. No sense in paying for XM on the xk since I only use it a few times a month ( I already have XM on two other cars that connect with no issue ).

Let us know what you find or else use XM through your phone/blueooth

Thank you for the advice. Much appreciated!

I have Sirius XM on my Volvo and, after speaking with Sirius XM support, they gave me the connection for my XK at no extra cost since I said I can only drive -- and listen -- to one at a time. However, I do like your idea of using my smartphone and will try that!
