Sirius XM Channel Lineup Change

[troymdaniels]

Just got the email from SiriusXM as I know other forum members have noted as well. The channel lineup is changing on May 4th. When this happened back in the day with my AVIC D3, i lost most all of the XM logos with a few exceptions. Now with the Z120BT and all you lucky Z130BT owners, i wonder if it will be the same and they'll disappear again? I would have to bet on it being a cluster f since that's typically the case. I was likely going to purchase the Z130 upgrade when available, but if history repeats itself I can almost guarantee there wont be a fix with any update from Pioneer anytime soon. If there is an issue, it's SiriusXM's fault for sure, but I know Pioneer wont rush to any fix either.

 

I'm getting ahead of myself though, lets see what happens come May 4th.

I concur. This will be a problem and I can almost guarantee Pioneer will not rush to offer an update.

Well, the good news is most of the SiriusXM logos are intact. I did notice a handful that are now missing (Kiss FM, PearJam, Willie's Place), along with a couple new channels that have no logos, but I would say the large majority of logos are still there and have moved to their new channel assignments. I am honestly surprised they werent all missing. You will NEED TO REMOVE PRESETS in order to get the correct logos on those channels. I noticed off the bat that my presets had incorrect logos but as I flipped through the channels one by one, they were correct. I plan to spend some time later to reassign presets, trying to do so on the highway with the way the touch screen does and doesnt want to respond to a swipe was too frustrating this morning.
