    I have a 2011 Kia Optima SX. For quite some time my Sirius xm was stuck on acquiring signal. I didn’t have any audio for Sirius yet AM/fM worked fine. I also wasn’t able to tune to any channels. I did have an active subscription but since I had this issue starting in May I decided to deactivate...

    Hi all, satellite radio stopped getting signal recently and I know it's because of the shark fin. I noticed it was loose/wobbly a few months back and then recently I disassembled it in order to vinyl wrap my roof. I found that two of the 4 screws holding the rubber base onto the shark fin were...

    The shark fin antenna on my '15 Optima Lx started getting loose and then I went to remove it when I decided to vinyl wrap my roof, and I realized that two of the four screws that hold the top of the shark fin to the base had broken off. The other two were about to break as well. So half of the...

    Does anyone know how I can consistently get the flow (speed of traffic ) to show on my navigation map? It is very hit and miss. Sometimes it shows right away and other times not at all. Mark 2014 SX-L

    I use to have working Sirius traffic coming across Nav mapping view. Wasn't paying extra for it. Was just always there for me. Then let the subscription expire and lapse for a month so. When I renewed, I noticed I no longer had traffic of any kind. Called Sirius about it a couple times...

    I am thinking about trading in my 2014 SX Turbo for a 2016 SX Turbo, and would like to know your experiences as it pertains to having your Sirius XM music cut out/weak signal as I have with my service. I understand some people may say the service stinks and what have you, but my wife in her...

    MNSoft was running a sale on map updates so I finally bit. Download and install process took forever, but eventually worked. However, now Sirius traffic, which worked fine before is not working right. Every time I start the car, I have to go into the traffic screen. It shows up as...

    So a long time ago I had a Pioneer AVIC Z2 in a Hummer H3. It had a feature where I could tag a song as a favorite and anytime that song played on any Sirius station I would get a notification. My gfs new 2016 Nissan Murano and a buddies 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee has it. I haven't seen that...

    Hello everyone. On our new to us 2014 EX with the UVO Infinity system without Nav, we have had some frustrating moments with the system so far. When I first start my car and hook my iPhone 6 up with the lightning cable, the phone starts playing fine like it should. If I hit the mode button to...

    I am a new member, this is my first post. I have read the posts from years ago regarding constant "acquiring signal" issue. I bought my 2014 Kia Optima hybrid new in February 2015 and I have the same problem. Did anybody ever come up withe the solution to this annoying problem?
  11. Entertainment: Audio, Navigation, and Electronics
    Basic question is it possible? I don't have the navigation system I have the smaller touch screen uvo setup. I was wondering if I could have the 4 or so dollars extra a month and have a working nav on my stock unit. Thank you guys.

    Sorry if this question has been asked before, but does anyone know how to I disable the sirius FM radio stations? I don't use it nor need it so I hate it when I toggle through the menu and have to skip through the multiple dead sirius channels to go from Radio to Media to Bluetooth etc...I...

    Have a 2014 Optima SXL.. used to have XM on my old BMW.. Optima comes with sirius. Loved XM, never had an issue besides obvious obstruction stuff where antenna couldn't see the sky, etc.. but since leasing the optima. I seem to quite frequently notice the "weak signal" indicator on the radio...

    Anyone else have issues with their Sirius unit losing a signal after they've driven their car for awhile? I've taken it to the dealership and they claim it's because I'm near buildings, but yesterday after a few hours of some heavy driving, I noticed I'd lose my signal. The only remedy was to...

    My new KOH with Nav does not show traffic on the major arteries in my home city or anywhere for that matter. I could not find any options for this ( there was on my 2013 Optima Nav) so I called Sirius Canada and was shocked to hear that Kia's Navigation systems are not on line yet for traffic...

    Hi, I'm new to the forum. I have a 2014 SXL Turbo with the Uvo entertainment system. Since day 1 the traffic has not worked. I thought maybe it was because I was on my free trial with SiriusXM. That does not appear to be the case because now I'm paying and I still cannot add traffic. SXM is...

    I'm on day 99...and my Sirius is still on. Is this normal, or possible it skipped me? How long after your trial was over was yours turned off? I'm not complaining, but I just think it's strange that Sirius has made no attempt in contacting me to get me on a subscription. Not one phone call or...

    I have only seen a couple of threads on this with no apparent fix. I had no problem during the trial period, but now 2 months into my first contract I am losing the signal almost every 15 minutes regardless where I am. I also noted no one identifies what radio they have. I will be going to the...

    Hey just thought I would pass it along, Sirius is on free trial for the next 2 weeks. I f you are like me and let the subscription lapse...:cool: Enjoy!
  20. Entertainment: Audio, Navigation, and Electronics
    I have a '13 optima with the UVO Does anyone know if the radio is compatible with the Sirius "A La Carte" subscription..... and if so will they activate it? Probably a NO, but I thought I would ask. The A La Carte Package - SiriusXM Radio
