About six weeks ago I sprung for the MCU2 upgrade with the $500 FM/XM tuner option in my 2013 MS. Other than some initial challenges getting the new XM radio ID connected to my account, the system worked perfectly. Last week, the 12V battery gave notice that it was dying so I scheduled mobile service to do the replacement. They came the next day and handled the replacement very quickly. Since then, almost every morning when I get into the car, it either is playing the last XM station I had tuned in but doesn't display XM as an option (either at the bottom of the regular audio screen or under the settings/source options screen) or it has switched over to FM completely and again shows no signs of having any access to XM.
I have usually been able to resolve this by rebooting the screen(s) - two scroll wheel press for ten seconds - or by manually powering the car off from the touch screen and restarting a few minutes later. Even these approaches, however, often don't work first time or take some time before XM is again shown as a source option. (I should also note that the main screen has rebooted on its own a few times as well.)
I have a service center appointment in a couple of weeks to hopefully resolve this but wanted to know if anyone else has experienced anything similar or has any other suggestions for faster/better/easier ways of correcting the problem in the meantime. (Doing the screen reboot is only mildly annoying and can usually be done while driving. Powering off obviously requires stopping and delaying one's trip.)
