Ya, I doubt that it's completely resolved since I didn't change anything but I haven't seen the symptoms of this for a while now. Not that I'm complaining.

It seems to have resolved itself for the timing being without me changing anything. This hasn't happened at all since beginning of November so I'm not monitoring it for now.

Funny thing is that my 2.003 update went fine (no errors) except that trying to follow the above steps to get the "secret" version screen doesn't work.

Interesting... Which model tuner do you have? I`ve got the GEX-920XM and it only has two power cables, a constant 12Volt and a ground. There is no third connection like you showed in your diagram.

Won't this cause you to lose the presets as well? I haven't had this problem the entire week so I haven't bothered trying the OEM XM antenna yet. Want to see how long this problem free streak will last.

To clarify, I did not have to actually cut or splice the OEM antenna wire. Both Sirius and XM use the same coax connector, except that the hard-plastic connector is different. The hard-plastic part I am referring to is the pink section of the XM antenna's connector. I still have the XM antenna that came with the GEX-920XM, I'll give it a try on the weekend. At the very least we can eliminate the antenna as the issue. Thanks for the suggestion.

Does your buddy do a lot of channel surfing?

I appreciate everyone`s help on this. Hopefully we can get it figured out once and for all. No splicing on the XM tuner end, I did have to do some soldering and splicing to connect the Z120 harness to my car's harness. Yes, the antenna is mounted on the roof of my car by the FM antenna. I am using the OEM antenna that came pre-installed in my car, I assume that it has this metallic plate already installed. Yes, the GPS and XM antennas are well away from each other. Not entirely sure because the car came with the antenna pre-installed. Just the IP-Bus cable. No

Good question, I think so, not entirely sure. Exactly, it happens when you are jumping between stations. What is the resolution for this? Is there another XM receiver I can use instead?

I have the same exact problem, were you able to figure it out?

I'm having a problem with the XM receiver on my Pioneer Z120 with the audio cutting out sometimes and I hope you guys can help. I've already sent an email to Pioneer's tech support but it has gone unanswered so far. I suspect that this problem only started after I upgraded to the Z120 software but I can't be entirely sure anymore as I know someone else who has this very problem but on a X920. This also happens rarely, but seems to be happening more frequently recently with it happening as frequently as once per day and it's very annoying. What ends up happening is that out of no wh
