The satellite radio antenna and antenna cable are very small and delicate - any disturbance between the radio and the antenna will kill the satellite signal. Check to make sure the antenna and antenna cable are intact and functioning. In some cars, the satellite signal is carried along the same antenna and cable as the AM/FM radio, so if your AM/FM radio is also having problems then it's likely the antenna or cable. Some cars have a separate SiriusXM tuner module where the satellite antenna connects. Look at the tuner module for any signs of problems such as loose cables. If you can read the tuner ID on the radio (it's sometimes listed as a dedicated SiriusXM channel) and you can hear the "preview" satellite channel, then the problem is with your satellite radio subscription and you'll have to resolve that with SiriusXM.

Hi @papusm1087 ,
What is the year, make and model of the vehicle in which the radio is installed?

As far it comes to the factory installed Bose radio it will not be the best for the car, as they do not install a high quality and durable sound system. You will have to go for a new sound system which will cost almost the same as repairing your current system. You can try the BOOS audio or Pioneer. If you want a durable one and hear music 24/7 you may take a look at the Rockford too. I have installed the Pioneer in my car last year and sounds as like new even after a year. Have a look at lists here which includes pros and cons and the price also: https://www.soundspeakerwiki.com

@anthonyj I have seen a similar troubleshooting guide at https://speakershunter.com and it worked really well for me.
However, the factory installed radios are not so good. I must say that replacing a new one will be the best decision as it will cost the same as for repairing.
Anyway, thanks!
