Sirius connect CD-SB10 rebooting constantly

[john_tsouris]

Hey

 

I just installed a brand new Z110 with a Sirius connect kit, Sirius interface CD-SB10, and a Sportster 4. Upon starting the car, the display on the Sportster 4 shows "Sirius Connect" for a few seconds, then goes blank and restarts... over and over and over.

 

I actually have two CD-SB10's, two Sirius connect kits, and a brand new Sirius Stiletto 2, so I tried both of those and a new set of cables all around.

 

Power is on at the power connector on the Sirius connect

 

Same issue.

 

Anyone have an idea?

Wow, you sure do have a lot of problems right out of the box dont you. I would contact the place you bought/installed all of this from.

Ugh.

 

I actually just got this to work. I swapped the Sportster 4 out for the new Stiletto, and it all of a sudden worked.

 

I think last night when the Stiletto rebooted, my car battery was low.

 

So it now works, and I have a bad Sportster 4.

 

Having other equipment to swap out certainly helps troubleshooting....

 

Thanks!

Thats two possibly bad components you have out of the box per your two threads, not good. I would be concerned about where you bought this stuff.

The Sportster was used, so not unexpected to have problems. What threw me was that both the used sportster and the new stiletto were rebooting the same way. The stiletto now works on a fully charged battery.

 

The ipod cable was purchased new from eBay. It's physical appearance was very robust. It's a very heavy duty cable.

 

The Z was new from Car Toys.
