Factory OEM SiriusXM nearly working in Tesla 2022 Model 3

You should try your service center. Technically anyone can buy any part that says a VIN isn't required. Some SCs are more of a pain than others.

can you order parts via the service section of the app? i don't have a SC super nearby...

 

[crackers8199]

Yep - hence me being a gorilla for not realizing that.

can you change channels via the scroll wheel?

 

[PhilCaps]

did you buy the S tuner instead of the X tuner? what is the part number?

1622932-00B

 

[PhilCaps]

Just did the install. I have same problem as OP. Xm shows up but only FM audio plays

 

[ph0ton]

can you change channels via the scroll wheel?

Yep. It goes up or down the list based on channel number.

Wasn't this traced to the antenna/adapter used? What did you end up using?

 

[ElectricNerd]

So all I need is part 1622932-00B, Fakra to SiriusXM adapter, and an OEM SiriusXM antenna that you use on a standalone radio?

 

[PhilCaps]

I bought the eightwood curry fakra with the SiriusXM official antenna

tough to justify doing this until we figure out why it works for some people but not others.

 

[ph0ton]

Same as me, and I'm assuming you have tried putting the antenna on your trunk to eliminate the reception issue. All I can surmise is the B version might have some unknown incompatibility, or the plug is not fully connected due to the tight space between it and the housing bolt. I wish we had a better way of diagnosing these issues.

 

[PhilCaps]

Yeah my antenna is good as it works with the SiriusXM roady. I've tried to reset and reinstall software a few times and nothing. Xm stations play FM radio like OP.

OP has C version from MX. I have B version from Ms plaid

Yeah I tried 2 antennas both inside and outside. Drove in the interstate as well with no luck. I did 3 software reinstalls with no changes. I had the dual fakra unplugged and I was still able to pick up radio stations and they would play on the XM stations.

Of note, I wasn't able to get any audio, not even the xm preview channel despite my subscription page saying I was active. Sounds like same issue op is having.

It was getting late so I had to give up for the night but I will trouble shoot again tomorrow. My plan is to reinstall my old tuner and flip audio to streaming music and then change the tuners to see if that changes anything.

 

[PhilCaps]

@ph0ton did you remember what source you last had your stock tuner on? Also did you do any hard resets like disconnecting the 12v or unplugging main battery?

Random but I noticed my tuner's sticker is right side up.

what year is your car? OP was a 2022, i believe @ph0ton has a 2018 and @stutech has a 2019...those are the two confirmed working that I've seen.

maybe there's something in the newer cars that is blocking it.

2022 m3p. Maybe not compatible with amd chip?

 

[ph0ton]

EDIT: I changed my mind. OP was 2022, you're 2022. Only two data points but we have evidence of a common mode of failure. The thing is, you have a Model S Plaid tuner, which also has a MCU v3, so why would it not work by virtue of an incompatibility with the chip?

I actually did not have that "filter" plug attached (I'm assuming it's the black plug that attaches to the metal prong on the actually mount/tuner?)

And now that I think of it I don't think I even think I have that plug. I don't see it on OPs pics either.

Yeah I'm not to sure but could be 2022 or could be the B variant.

Yup. Well that would be interesting now, wouldn't it? If it's not grounded properly it spits out the FM signal? Let me try removing it on my car.

EDIT: Didn't make a difference at all when I unplugged it, either for FM or SiriusXM. I don't know if it matters for initialization though, or if somehow the MCU v3 is more sensitive to HF noise.

 

[PhilCaps]

Just checked my 2022 doesn't have that "filter/ground" plug. I've been trouble shooting all morning with no changes. Still just getting FM signal when cycling through XM channels. The good thing is that the Plaid tuner works like stock tuner and my Siriusxm standalone works through fm direct line into it.

I may try to install the plaid tuner in my Intel based myLR and so that way I can eliminate the variable of it being amd vs Intel albeit it would be in a MY.

I do have update 2022.20.6 downloading, hopefully that triggers a fix
