Sirius Radio

[Scottk1957]

Anybody else have Sirius App disappear from app section and completely gone from radio after the latest update a few days ago? I rebooted spoke to Tesla - They always act dumb). Model S 2019

This is your first issue with Sirius? This has been happening through several updates to many. Best advice is to put the car where it can see the satellites and reboot. Take two aspirin and wait a few days. Prayer might help. Updates need to settle in a couple of days now. It may magically come back on.

Agree with @DerbyDave -- happens ALL the time! SXM is so inconsistent on native platform that I've come to rely exclusively running the app through the car's BT connection. Not ideal, but Tesla doesn't seem to particularly care about SXM at this point.

mine sometime just wont come on....cant change channels or go to other xm stations.....sometimes it will come on by itself....but what a pain in the ass....called Sirius and they sent new link to start up and refresh......took 3-5 min.....worked ok the happened again.....took some time but then worked again after I 3-buttoned reboot.....asked for compensation and they are charging me $10.32 for a year.....full programs

The latest update restored the option to hide media sources. Go to audio settings and select "sources" to toggle on/off your options. For some reason the latest software option deselected SiriusXM.

It's no longer on the list of sources

Does this mean we can not use Sirius through Tesla, except for streaming it through the data connection of our phones? How much data does it use, for those of us without unlimited data plans?

I have Sirius but rarely use it in our Subaru Ascent and have never tried to use it in the Tesla.

Thanks.

This is a software bug that Tesla has had affecting SiriusXM disappearing and reappearing. I think mine got fixed to stay showing as a source in the last update several days ago. Of course some of the issues could be a bad SiriusXM radio module, but likely not many. If you are under warranty open up a service ticket. The model s gets SiriusXM unless you have an older model with sunroof.

I do not see a Sirius app in the area of the radio information where I see Tidal and other things I also do not use. It that where it is supposed to be? I don't recall seeing one before, but I was not looking for it (or for other apps).

 

[DerbyDave]

Yes. but it disappears and reappears there.

I called Sirius about it. They said I need a second subscription to use it in the Tesla (the main is in our Subaru Ascent). Naively, I thought that it was good for both cars. We have used the Ascent a lot less in the pandemic and we use Sirius veru little anyway. I'm certainly not going to have two subscriptions, so I am going to leave it as is for now. Maybe sometime I'll switch it to the Tesla. Sorry if I confused anyone (I mean, besides me!).

SiriusXM wants their money. Most SiriusXM subscriptions include Internet Access. You can install the app on your phone and bluetooth to the car through the phone connection.
