Sirius Stiletto 100: My Sirius stiletto 100 won't play in my vehicle

Mon, 08 Jun 2026 09:47:22 -0700

I have a Sirius Stiletto 100 and so does my wife, Hers works at home and in her car. Mine works at home but not in my vehicle. Both radio receivers are activated. Mine shows "no antenna detected" message while connected with the vehicle antenna placed over the roof of my car. I have changed all of my radio receiver setting exactly as my wife's but no luck. My receiver works perfectly at home when I connect my Sirius satellite headphones it catches all active channels, (at home), just like my wife's. Mine not even recognizes my vehicle's FM radio signal. I connected my wife's radio receiver with her car dock and my car dock in my car and it works, catches my car's FM signal and we can hear all 184 activated satellite channels, connected my radio receiver with my car dock and with her car dock in her vehicle and same problem. "no antenna detected" message also appears, pressed The FM switch on hers and my dock into her car and both docks won't recognize the car's FM signal with my radio receiver. I'm writing here as the last resort hoping someone has experienced the same problem and perhaps know how to resolve this mystery. We have tried everything at our disposal.

Satellite Radio: Sirius Sportster R stuck on logo after overheating

Wed, 02 Jul 2025 01:14:56 -0700

My Sirius Sportster R, which has lifetime activation, overheated after being left on overnight. It was hot to the touch. After cooling down, it now turns on but is stuck on the Sirius logo screen. I am unable to send it to Sirius XM for repair due to the lifetime activation. What could be the cause of this issue, and how can I troubleshoot or repair it?

Satellite Radio: Sirius Streamer Replay Radio

Wed, 08 Jan 2020 22:11:08 -0700

Can’t find anyone to repair this. All the electronics guys I talk to say no. One tried and gave it back.

Turn it on, the moving logo goes on, then it settles down to a beautiful picture of a dog.

And does nothing from that point on.

I know it’s not worth that much money — but it’s a lifetime subscription which I can no longer transfer to any other device.

Satellite Radio: XM radio- no power- not working

Sat, 27 Jan 2018 09:02:16 -0700

my XM radio will not turn on. It is the 2015 Onyx model. It is on about 8 hours a day and I shut it off at night. The other day when I tried to turn it on, it felt warm, as if it was already on.

I have had problems with it shutting off on its own late in the day sometimes. I could just power it back on.

Pushing the power button or holding it down a long time will not start up the radio.

These are just $79 radios ( plus $75 subscripton transfer) but is there any other trick to get this thing to turn on?

I see 3 holes in the back together with contact points under each hole? Would these be for a reset of some kind?

Thanks!
