Yesterday when i left my office, my nav display says "acquiring" like it always does as it waits for me to pull out of my covered parking space. This time, instead of the sirius kicking in within a few seconds, it stays on acquiring. After a few minutes, i toggle thru the mode to see of everything else is ok, radio is fine, cd plays, i get Aux, so that seems to be up, but sirius is still "acquiring". I figure i'd leave it in sirius mode for a bit, maybe the planets are aligned correctly or something, but eventually give up and switch to cd.
I get home, look at the wires, just in case an antenna lead fell off or something, all is fine. I pull the fuse from the sirius unit, it looks fine. I plug the fuse in and hear a "click" from the sirius receiver, turn it on and it works. OK. Today same thing. No siruis, only "acquiring" on the nav display. If i pull the fues and reinsert, it starts working. Like it needs some type of 're-boot.'
What do you think? Anyone with more understanding of things electronic care to offer advice? Is my sirius receiver toast? After the 'reboot' it works until i shut off the car.
