Default problum with my SIRIUS?

I got my JK back in aug of 08 and my sirius worked fine. on sunday I drove the jeep in the moring and it woked, but in the afternoon it just stop working. it keeps saying "acquiring signal" or "no signal". I looked at the antenna... it is still there, and not broken. anyone else have this problum?

I had a similar problem 2 months ago, somehow my subscription got cancelled months before it expired and all the screen showed was no signal. Call SIRIUS thats your best bet, they'll send some OTA programming to your system and get it fixed up.

Good luck dealing with them, mine stopped 2.5 months prior to the year as well. I was a previous subscriber to them so I called. I was told that my Jeep hadn't been activated yet and he would take care of it. I would have a year for free! I was stoked at the thought of a free year. Needless to say, my wife was doing some online banking a couple days later and saw where they had charged our card for a full year at the full price. I called to question it and went around and around for a week. Needless to say, I got boned by them for the rep telling me I had a free year. They couldn't understand why I was aggrevated at paying full price on the same account for 2 radios.

They suck, but the music is good

Lost signal happens it's 5am> It last for about 15-20mins. My ant. is above the pass. side on the triangle plate. Now on my wife's 02' tj I put the ant. on the hood about 3" out of the center. She has not lost a signal yet Don't know what that means but I'll be moving my ant when it gets warmer. Myself I have not had a problem with their cust. ser. dept.

Good luck!
I agree, that happened to me once but it was with one of the aftermarket units.
