How to view XM Channel list in 8.0

[bob_p]

I spent a day with multiple calls to XM - and it is NOT a SiriusXm problem.

This problem was introduced by Tesla as part of the "improvements" to the media player in 8.0, and I've been told by Tesla that cars manufactured after 8.0 was released are having difficulties loading the XM station list. I was also told a firmware fix was being developed - but clearly it didn't make it into what is being called 8.1 (neither did the promised browser or media player improvements).

Without the station list, XM is pretty unusable. With patience, you can single step to find a specific station and save it as a favorite. But if you're trying to find a specific game broadcast, it's extremely painful - especially if you don't have passenger in the car willing to hit the channel forward button a hundred times...

Here is what I am seeing. I have one folder (pop). I dropped by Tesla and they said to call XM first to make sure it was not on their end. I called XM and they reactivated my signal multiple times. That didnt do anything though.

Mine only shows Entertainment Folder.

Thanks for sharing your experience/knowledge on the situation. Hopefully they will get a fix for this soon. I will post any updates/changes I observe on my end.

I had to take the car in for an unrelated "Car needs service power reduced" warning that came up. I also asked them to look at the XM interface issue.

The official response in their report: "There is a current firmware issue that prevents XM categories to not appear. This will be
fixed in a later firmware update"

So consistent with bob_p's comment.

XM works fine on my 2 weeks old MS with the 8.1 update. I see 21 Categories each of which expands to several stations.

EV Rider, you may be one of the lucky ones if you got it working...

I spent hours with SiriusXM and with Tesla phone support trying to find a sequence to get the station list to load...

Channel list on xm is now incomplete on version .28. Ridiculous.

Mine wasn't working but, got 17.26.76 yesterday and now it's there!

 

[Msolomi]

I have 17.26.17 and problem still exists. This is beyond ridiculous.

Same here
Just the entertainment folder

That's what I had with 17.26.17 (just he entertainment folder) appears 17.26.76 has a patch for this issue.....

My P85+ (October 2013 build) updated to 17.26.17 last week and now my SiriusXM does not work. I can see all the channels in dark black font, but they all play the XM0 preview station programming. I have rebooted the center display and sent activation signals twice, and nothing has fixed the problem. Never had any issues prior to this update. Any ideas?

After picking up our 100D in March, the only time we've had the XM station list was after the service center forced some firmware upgrades - and we had the station list for about a day, before it disappeared - and is still missing after the latest update.

Without the station list and with the removal of the station slider with 8.0, XM is extremely difficult to use - and it's disappointing how long it's taking for Tesla to fix this problem, along with the other things they broke with the media player "improvements" in 8.0 (multiple USB bugs).

I was recently updated to 17.26.76 and still can only see the entertainment folder.

This is ridiculous. The media system in this car is just terrible - from the not being able to directly dial in an XM station (or even see all the stations) to the poor library controls and player in the USB player. Whoever was in charge of this part of the car needs to be fired! <rant over>

 

[Msolomi]

I was just updated through a forced update by the service center, and can only see the entertainment folder. Its ridiculous. Also, the service center told me that Tesla is aware of the problem. For a $125k car, the entertainment system SUCKS! A rental car of $20k system is better.

 

[idealsol]

Tesla obviously doesn't care at all about this issue
Anyone with SiruisXM spent thousands extra to be able to get it.
I would have still ordered a pano roof, but never the UHFS if I knew this is what I'd have 6 months after I got the car

Same here. 17.26.76 I had it at one point months ago, but it's gone now.

They fixed the map tile bug pretty quick, but this one has been more persistent.

 

[skialpine]

The local service center called after the last update to see if it solved my problem with XM stations. When I told the person that it did not help they did not seem to really have anything to share. It seemed like they were crossing their fingers for a fix but had no idea if a fix was included. When I asked when could I expect a fix they had no answer and would not commit to getting back to me. Very frustrating....

clue ... less ...

Still broken after the 2017.28 update installed - as well as the other USB bugs, as far as I can tell...
