4. Antenna (For Satellite Radio)

With SiriusXM, it comes with the antenna and you need to be incredibly concerned about the location of the antenna. For this reason, you must ensure that antenna doesn’t have any blockings around it, especially on the facing side. In case you are in the basement, the signals will not reach there and the internet radio will not work.

5. Antenna Cable (For Satellite Radio)

In addition to checking the antenna and obstructions, you must keep an eye on the antenna cable.

The antenna cable should have proper infrastructure and there must be no broken parts or bending. If there are any such issues with the antenna cable, you must replace the antenna cable.

6. Reboot

Well, yes, you can reboot your SiriusXM radio as well. With this being said, you need to switch off the radio and wait for around fifteen minutes. Then, switch it on again.

7. Channel

To begin with, there are chances that the channel that you are trying to access isn’t working or broadcasting. So, it’s best to tune into some other channel and try again. In addition to this, it’s a chance that the radio is trying to acquire the channel information from the satellite. So, it’s best to wait for some time to ensure channel information can be acquired and the radio will start working.

8. Update

One of the major reasons that the internet radio is not working is because you have radio update issues. With this being said, you need to update the radio with the encryption code (the encryption code must be the latest). However, this update is automatic, so wait for some time while the radio is being downloaded.

9. Frequency (For Satellite Radio)

When you have the incorrect frequency set with SiriusXM, the internet radio will not work. So, you must check the radio in the car as well as SiriusXM are set to an identical frequency. Once the frequency is streamlined, the internet radio will start working. In addition to this, keep the audio level high because it improves the signal quality.
