Dnx8120 repair. Sirius radio not speaking. - Sirius Audio Players & Recorders

The "hard wired" version that you speak of apparently only refers to the power supply.Do you have a seperate display for the Sirius unit? Now, you failed to mention the type of radio (factory or aftermarket); so, if you have to use an "empty radio station" then you have an FM modulator. This modulator could wired or wireless. The wired version interrupts the vehicle antenna wire and the station on said modulator is usually preset to either 88.1, 88.3,88.7, or 89.1. There is no need to power this modulator up, it comes on when then Sirius comes on. One way to check for power is to turn on the Sirius unit and tune your radio to an occupied Fm station. Wait a few seconds and listen to the reception. Turn off the Sirius unit, the reception should improve for the occupied station. If it is a wireless FM modulator it also has preset stations that you can change but, extending the wieless antenna will greatly improve your reception of the Sirius stations.

I had attempted to contact Sirius for this answer and they had told me that you cannot retrieve the SID from an OEM installed radio and that it can be obtained from a sticker on the owner's manual.

In my situation my SID was not on my owner's manual, and after they had assured me that it was in fact there and I was not looking hard enough I requested to speak to a manager who had told me that an SID is not required for an OEM installed radio due to the fact that they can look each radio up by VIN as well.

do what I did..call Sirius and tell them you want to cancel your subscription because your radio broke.They should send you a new one for no charge...it won't be same model of radio but at least they will replace it.The last thing they want is to lose a subscriber.also make sure you talk to an American operator.they outsource their operator business to some third world country.If you ask them,they will connect you to someone from USA. I hope this helped.I'm actually speaking from experience.theyve already sent me two replacemnt radios for no charge.Good luck

Check your antenna wire to see if it is spliced or cut. If you do not recognize a problem still you can usually get very good help from calling Sirius. They have been good about trouble-shooting and repairs.

First check the radio fuse in your car. Then check the fuse in the back of the radio. And then check the power wires (Red and Yellow).

Umm.. Call the number?

Sounds like the subscription is out.

Could be clerical on their side, could be any number of things. But that's pretty simple. It says call the number, so call the number.

They may not be able to speak to you since you're not the account holder, so you might need to have your sister call, in which case, provide the serial number of the unit to your sister and have them call.

my sirius stiletto 100 power on/lock switch slides up and down freely. feels like something came apart inside the device. any solutions?

Bad news my friend. That model isn't supported anymore. Sirius is pretty good about replacing the radio for free and discounting the accessories. You will get one for free. The docks are reasonably priced. The boombox you might be able to get a discount for. The new docks are more designed for multiple units should this happen in the future to you again (like Stratus radios).

There isn't much to service on the radios. If the board is dead it isn't worth fixing. It's cheaper for Sirius to replace it.

I have a streamer model siirus radio and I went to move it to another location and the power outlet either fell out or went inside the radio. Is it an easy fix that I can do myself or where is the nearest repair service? Thanks
