shug2004 Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Hey guys - wondering if anyone out there can help me out. Called pioneer support and got nothing. I have a d3 with the sb10 and scc1 adaptors for the sirrius radio. Problem is that the tuner is stuck on channel 205, which doesn't exsisit. I've replaced everything and i mean everything and still having the same problem and nobody seems to have an answer.. Any advice would be appreciated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Viper_ed Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 Anyone have any idea on this. Just installed a SIR-PNR2 with my AVIC-F90BT and I am having the same issue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jem199 Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Same issue here too. If I hit the Traffic button, I can get a song on, but it stills hows 205 on the Avic. Please post if you figure it out. I've heard that if you install the sb10 and tap the red (switched power) wire instead of the yellow one, it solves freezing issues. I may try that.

You should definitely leave the Sirius module switched; you don't want it running down your battery when the car is off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jem199 Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 Yeah, that stumped me. Why did they add a yellow wire to the power supply and give instructions to connect to the constant power? Seemed like an odd config. I found quite a few reports of the 205 situation and no solutions so far. I think the cd-sb10 is malfunctioning. I will post when I resolve this.

Viper_ed Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 My Sirius receiver was bad which is why it was stuck on channel 205. I sent it back and had it exchanged and the new one works fine. I did try it on my old D3 and it did the same thing. BTW, the yellow wire is constant power to retain the channel memory settings in the Sirius unit. It will not kill your battery by hooking it up to positive unless you don't drive your car for about a year or so. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
flyboypr Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 I had the same problem with one i bought off Ebay. It was stuck on channel 7 , no sound, no nothing. I was reading on post here about opening the box and pushing down on the heat shield or what ever the thing is,once i did that the thing started working so i just put a piece of wood that would apply pressure on it once i closed it and haven't had any problems with it. Just a thought that worked for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
