Defaults to XM Every Startup

[sgtsodo]

My XM subscription lapsed recently.

No big deal, I'm going to give FM/Podcasts/Streaming a try for now. However, every time I fire up the truck it diverts to the XM preview channel! Quite annoying! I have looked through the settings and haven't gotten it figured out yet.

Has anyone seen this? Or am I missing something?

As in, you had it on FM when you got out, and it switched to SXM when you got back in?
It should go back to what you had it on when you got out...unless it was playing from your phone.

I know that the XM preview channel default is an issue that Sirius knows about. I would check if any of the updates take care of it but I believe it’s a Sirius issue. That aside, it should stay on whatever you left it on when you shut down. I guess Sirius is trying to tell you something. They want you back!

It will default to whatever you saved the last time you hit the driver memory button. If you want it to default to radio; then turn your UConnect to radio and hit the save settings button on your left hand door panel (same button used to save seat position).

I'll give this a try.

Yes, I will leave it on FM, then upon start up its back on XM.

This has me fixed up, Thank you!

For those of us without a button to save the preference, is there another way?

Maybe I found a solution. Will try it soon.

Fix?

1. Sit in driver seat, doors closed, vehicle off.
2. Foot off the break, press start/stop button once to place vehicle in ACC mode.
3. Press the start/stop button twice to turn off vehicle.
4. Hold the Voice Recognition and Green Phone buttons on the steering wheel for 30 seconds, then let go.
5. Open the driver door for 30 seconds, or until the dash display cluster turns off - whichever comes first, then close the door.
6. Hold down the break pedal, and press the start/stop button to start the vehicle normally.

Other user reported: After I did step 6, my Uconnect system quickly flashed through several screens including what looked like a dial pad and the text "enter anti-theft code" (?). It still started in FM radio, but when I pressed the Media icon, it immediately went to Bluetooth (whereas in the past, I would have to hit the down arrow then select Bluetooth). I restarted the vehicle normally again, and this time it went straight to Bluetooth.
