It could be the signal has been down graded. new laws on signal and strengths have been coming in over the fear of wave format. the best way to gain a weak signal is a booster of some kind to bring in the weak signals, hope this helps.

SOURCE: Power but no signal

I work for sirius so I know about all of these different issues and the most common one is the connections. It is imperative that the radios be connected to power with the cig lighter adapter. This adapter had circuitry in it that lowers the cars 12 volts to 5 volts which the sirius unit ooerates on. The old units were 12 volt and could hard wired into the vehicles fuse block, but all of the new radios operate on 5 volts. If this is not the issue with either of you then you have defective units. Being that all warranty replacement are with remanufactured units, your chance of getting a problematic unit increases after the initial return of your new unit.

SOURCE: Sirius Antenna

You may have to go to your nearest electronics store or Sirius vendor to see if they have an extension cord...as a Sirius customer i never seen one though......Your best bet is to remount the antenna to the forward part of the roof, towards the windshield.

SOURCE: Sirius satellite radio constantly shows "acquiring signal"

it could be the connection on the back of the reciever that could be bad. I would call sirius and see if your reciever is under warranty still, if not i can almost garauntee that your tuner antenna input is bad, if your antenna is brand new.

Car battery goes dead within 3 days it is my new pioneer radio that drains it.

Would not think so, radios do not use that much power. My car sits idle for weeks, still with power to constant 12v. Check your battery, IF going flat that quick, probably needs replacing

I've changed my engine mounts 3 times on my 2004 A4 cabreolet and they fail within miles(start to vibrate & then within a week, severe knocking) the 2nd time, also changed the ****** mount, 3r

Engine mounts do not go bad in five miles. Sounds like you're treating a symptom and not the cause of a more serious issue. Are you sure all cylinders are firing correctly? That the severe knocking is not coming from your engine internals? Have you checked the steel around the engine mounting points for cracks or other damage? And just in case, if the mounts you are using are poly, are you lubing them before installation?

I have a Sportster 5 radio and I get in and out radio reception which started the last couple of weeks, have changed the antenna and docking station but still have the problem? Can it be the receiver...

Yes. In fact, it probably is. At TSS Radio, we have seen a lot of SP5's with an antenna connection issue. This is a problem our repair guy is able to fix.

How to debug a stiletto 1

Stiletto 2 ...pin bent...now broke off !

The pin on the Stiletto 2 connector was indented a little last week. This week it broke off and the radio will not work. I am thinking the dock connector would have to be replaced.

Anyone know who can repair this?
Is this a common problem for the Stiletto 2 ?
Thank you !

1)I can print Words documents but not printing emails or attachment from emails. Urgent please

This is probably due to the installation of a conflicting software installed 2 weeks ago.

Please check for any installed Programs (control panel-add/remove programs if using windows) within the last 2 weeks, uninstall and try again.

Do you have any Internet Explorer Addons installed? (If using IE)
-If so, go to Tools-Manage Addons, and disable any installed within the last 2 weeks.
