Go outside with the unit in the clear, and If it says "Antenna" - it means the connector for the antenna, the docking base or the antenna itself it usually bad. See if you can borrow a buddy's antenna just to see if the "Antenna" warning goes away. It could be the antenna & its connector, could be the docking base (make sure the radio is plugged in tight) or could be the radio (but usually isn't). Good luck and let me know what you find out.

My Delphi Roady XT will not maintain signal

if you plug and unplug your antenna connection to the receiver a lot it loses the ground(shielded) line connection, if your lucky you can take a safety pin and CAREFULLY bend the radios 4 outer shell antenna contacts inward to make contact with the antenna connector, if its the plug on the antenna,try pushing wire in toward plug connection to the radio...delphi never had much for life on any external products that fit their XM radios but when you need repl parts boy are they waiting for you, and they got them

My Delphi Roady XT receiver will not maintain the signal. Does not work even I replaced the antenna. Works for a about 5 minutes before losing the signal

I had the same problem with my xt two years ago. I had two other roadys' at the time and they both worked with that antenna so I called xm customer service explained what was happening and they sent me a new receiver for $10. They told me that those units aren't worth trying to repair. Maybe you'll have the same luck I did. Give em a shout. Good luck.

It keeps saying antenna

The Tuner is bad. It's a very very very common problem among Sirius and XM users. It's a cold solder joint at the antenna input of the receiver. If it's out of warranty, replace it. Check ebay or Google it and you can find a replacement cheap. Sorry for the bad news, but that's the answer. Hope this helps

Roady xt Antenna Problems

when it reads antenna it means there something wrong with either the connection or the antenna itself, it could be the location of the antenna or the antenna is going bad. if there is no obstructions on the car blocking the antenna i would advise purchasing a new antenna. you can get one at http://shopdelphi.com/consumers/satradio/xpressrc/

Cable for XM capable Stereo

Nope, you need to buy a "Passport" unit which is like a card, and then a Passport Base which is the card holder with a home antenna. You put the card into the base and plug the base into your Denon and the antenna into the Passport base. You should be able to get XM channel 1 and XM247 right away. If so, then you can call and get the unit activated under the 'family plan' which is cheaper since you already have one unit. Contact me if you need more help, okay?

"Antenna" Appears on Roady XT Display

I had the same problem, it says antenna when you turn it on. It seems that there is a small wire that stays in the radio side of the socket right in the middle of the socket. This fine wire breaks off . I think there is no known repair for this. I took a piece of fine wire from a wire brush, and poked it into the socket . Had to get one that was thick enough to stay. Then I plugged the antenna into it, it worked.

No FM Frequency option

I had the same problem with all three of my Roady XTs. I posted a video with directions for solving the problem on YouTube:

Basically, you just need to have the antenna unplugged when you power up, and push menu right away, then select. Not sure why, but it worked on all of my Roady XTs. On the oldest one I had to push menu more than once. Good luck!

Delphi Roady XT Quit Working

Chances are it's not picking up the XM signal. First, contact XM to resend your setup. if that doesn't work check your antenna connections.
