Default Disappearing Sirius channels?

I’m having a really weird problem with the MMI in my ‘14. A few weeks ago, channels 10 and 11 mysteriously just dropped off the list. Today, channel 17 disappeared just after I changed the channel. I’ve tried having the signal resent, but no luck. Anyone experience this, or maybe have a suggestion of cause or how to fix this?

Our 2016 is a death-loop with the Sirius. Every time Sirius updates their channel lineup our presets erase and we have to add them all again.

Told the dealer. They say to call Sirius. Called Sirius. They say to see dealer.

death-loop

Just finished another round of free Sirius.Unless you're into talk radio it's a complete waste of money.The sound quality is really poor - 8 tracks were better.The signal drops out if there are bugs in the air.Major rip-off IMHO.

.FWIW. Before my recent Audi's I had many Mercedes over many years. NEVER had the disappearing screwed up satellite programming that I have had with my Audi's. Dealer claims Audi says it is the fault on SIRIUS. BS. It is in the crappy design of the MMI. There is no cure. Just get faster @ reprogramming.

+1 on losing the stations. Brings a smile to my face every time. I also have gotten extremely good at resetting them.

I have a series of photos on my phone of my pre-set stations that I consult every time I have to reprogram

You can’t be much older than me. After all, Moses is my younger brother

My Sirius cuts out every now and then for a second or two as if I'm driving through a tunnel or there's severely overcast skies. I'm in LA, there's no such thing as tunnels or clouds here.
Sadly I've just learned to deal with it. It's still better than OTA radio or Pandora.
