Same thing - I have a My-Fi and it just absolutley will not work with any antenna. I have two external hook-ups one for the house one for the car and it doens't work with either...and that includes separate docking stations. I even tried the goofy little antenna that is supposed to clip on your hat (very stylish I might add) and that doesn't work either. Pretty frustrating.

Broken antenna cable. Likely you have a kink or worn thru point on the wire somewhere.

Cant get xm weather on garmin 740s

To receive XM weather or audio, the GPSMAP 740s requires a GXM 40 Smart Antenna with XM subscription.

The GXM 40 Smart Antenna (010-00730-00) is used to receive weather and audio service from XM satellite radio. For details on XM services please visit our XM webpage.

Once a GXM 40 Smart Antenna has been connected to the GPSMAP 640, the device can display the subscription information for the antenna.

From the Home Page in Boating mode:

Select Configure
Select System
Select System Information
Choose Weather Subscription

From the Home Page in Driving mode:

Select Tools
Select XM Services
Select XM Radio
Set the channel selector to channel 0
Select Radio ID

The subscription information will now be displayed on the screen.

I have XM radio in my chevy malibu. Worked fine

I believe when the antenna loses power it does not show it on the screen sounds like there might be a break in the antenna wire or simply came out of socket in the rear of the radio.

XM radio is not working. Tries to 'Load' but then says 'no signal'. XM says that I am receiving the signal but Honda says there is no problem. They want to try to replace the antenna for $500 but are...

You best bet - if you can get to the rear of the XM tuner unit, is to temporarily connect a magnetic-mount XM antenna and see if it works. A bad antenna usually says "check antenna" - not loading could be a good antenna with a bad location. I would try the little XM antenna by itself, then go from there. $20 is a lot cheaper than $500. Let me know how it works out.

No signal problem on xm home satilite docking staion

You have probably lost a local repeater. Try moving it temporarily to a south-facing window. Here's another one to try: Put in dock and turn off with button on unit. wait 10 seconds, now press "2" "0" "7" "XM" buttons one at a time in that order ON THE FRONT of your SkyFi2 and the radio will go ON by itself! Now, press "Display" 4 times. You will see a screen that says "SAT1", "SAT2" and "TERR". You need a constant checkmark for DEMOD on at least one of the 3 boxes. Please tell me which ones are checkmarked and the average "BER%" number is. The lower the BER% number, the better. If BERis 100%, you are out of luck. Write back and let me know what you read. Press "Display" 5 more times to go back to regular screen. Thanks,
John

All of a sudden my radio displayed acquiring signal and now nothing will work. I have reset it to factory default and still nothing.

Tuner needs to be replaced. Where the antenna is input into the board, it has a bad solder joint. If it's older than a year that's the problem. It has been a BIG! issue with SIRIUS & XM. Sorry for bad news but I hope this helps.

Xm not working

I had a short in my TERK antenna and it gave me the same problem.

If you know someone else using xm, you can try their antenna to see if that is.

I took mine to Best Buy and they had one they checked it with.

Best of Luck.
