Default Radio not working properly

This morning when I tried to listen to my radio I have only 1 am station and 1 fm station. My Sirius works fine. Any ideas why this is happening.

Need more info. Are you saying the two stations are all you have available on your programmed radio buttons or these are the only ones you can pick up when scanning for all stations?

Might need to reset the mmi. Or scan for stations again. The mmi searches all frequencies and determines "static or no static" and allows you to only tune to real stations. You may just need to run that scan again.

Menu button + Confirmation Button + Top right soft Button

MMI shuts down and then restarts Takes about 60 seconds.

Mine periodically "loses" stations (not presets however). Chosing the station manually, or by using a preset will put it back in the "Band" list. Its really odd since the ones that disappear are some of the closest most powerful stations. A re-scan also seems to resolve the problem.

Its something I have noted for my 15K service, but not something I feel like I need addressed before then.

Same thing here, JC. Not sure why....how does one force a re-scan?

It appears the radio tries to scan for stations at each startup. Totally annoying as it can take a minute or two for a station to pop into the list. Over engineered "feature".

At the very top of the station list will be an entry "Update Station List"... just select that and push the MMI button. I think it also does this automatically every once in a while, but I have no idea what the frequency of that is.
