8.0 XM Channel List - Where Did it Go?

[kennybroh]

After my last update to 17.3.2 I lost my one pop category!
Now I am back to the empty "entertainment" category

PLEASE FIX THE XM INTERFACE

Still having the same problem.

So after the last update it still seemed broken but just now it reappeared!!! Here's how I found it. I'm in music, full screen. Actually I'm listening to an FM station b/c I couldn't find anything on XM, and I clicked favorites. Then I moved the favorites up on the screen and below them were the XM categories!

Clicked on a category and the stations appeared! Couldn't believe it. Finally!

Hopefully it is here to stay and this wasn't just a fluke.

And now when in half screen mode, pressing "stations" also brings up the categories. Such a small thing, but so irritating when it was broken. However, I certainly hope this is the worst thing I will have to endure in my life.....

Still broken.... Tried listening to nothing but XM last week. No change.

Had the same issue this week... Switched to channel one with the radio in full screen mode. To the right of the channel it gives you a button that says "stations". Pressed and voila, the XM category folders opened and populated. Now they are there in full or half screen.

Amazing with same revisions how it works for some but not for others....still a no go for me.

I've got about a dozen favorites as work arounds so i can more quickly navigate through XM list but sure would prefer a more efficient method.

 

[Mike M]

Crazy thing... My category folders disappeared again today.

 

[Az_Rael]

Yeah, my categories are gone again. Luckily I have everything saved to favorites that I frequently listen to, but if I ever had to find a game broadcast that would be near impossible. If they had a function to let you type the channel number that would at least help.

Never remember having trouble getting categories before - just noticed today they're gone, probably when I got the 8.0 upgrade. (I normally just use the XM stations already in my Favorites). Tried all the usual fixes mentioned here (multiple reboots, refresh signal from XM Radio, etc) with no luck. Just the "entertainment" folder containing only channel 1

This is really bizarre. I still have the categories, but I noticed that now my FM favorites are gone! This shouldn't be such a difficult thing, but apparently it is.

I have the exact same issue on my new Model X I picked up a couple weeks ago The channel list won't show up anywhere. The only channel I have under entertainment is XM1 preview. I had to go through one by one and favorite the stations I like to listen to. Not ideal.

 

[feslatan]

The only time I've ever seen the XM categories was when I was at the Service Center trying to show the technician the problem. When I left the problem came right back.

 

[ostimusic]

At least I'm not the only person for whom the XM interface doesn't work. As somebody else pointed out, this stuff all works just fine in every US-made rental car I've had with XM - including album art. This can't be that hard to fix...

^^^^

Yep, it’s very clear that Tesla has audio/web interface on the back burner to devote resources to HW2.

I’ve built workarounds for my USB music and have done same for XM by selecting favorites sprinkled around the channel list.

IMO, BMW has the best XM/Sirius solution with an ability to see a rolling channel list with views by channel, song, whats on coupled with the ability to go back in time......I’ll just settle for Tesla to get a scrolling list coupled with categories.

 

[ToddS]

Bumped to see if anyone has come up with a solution/work around. I still just get the one folder "Entertainment" with only channel 1 (Preview) in it.

I can't understand why this is so difficult. I understand and support the need to work on HW2, but can't they do more than one thing at a time?

Please tell me how you go through "one-by-one". I (like many others) see only XM0 and XM1 stations. There are navigation arrows, but they don't do anything other than alternate me between 0 and 1.

That sounds like your radio isn’t active. Call Sirius and have them resend the activation signal, making sure the car is outside.

I tried that (albeit from inside the garage) and Sirius whined that it has already activated the radio. But I'll try what you suggest next time I'm out.

Thanks.

Yeah, the car has to be seeing the satellites for it to work. I actually have a dead space on my street where we don’t get signal, so I had to park a couple blocks away and wait. A bit annoying. You can also send the signal via the website, FYI.

That just means the radio is activated in their system. It doesn't mean tha your tadio has seen the activation signal.

Remember, satellite radio is entirely unidirectional. There is no way for a radio to "phone home" and report its activation status. When you activate a radio, they send out the turn on signal, but if there radio misses it, there's no way for the mother ship to know that.
