Problem with XM tuner

A month or so after I had my unit installed I noticed that my XM tuner would shut off if I went over bumps. I looked behind the dash and found that one of the power wires doesn't have a clip on the end. Rather, it's just bare wire folded and shoved into the plastic piece which is inserted in the XM tuner. So when I go over bumps, it's contact is occasionally lost, thus shutting off the tuner.

 

What can I get to put on this wire so that I can properly secure it to the plastic piece which is inserted into the tuner?

Mine shuts off randomly when I start my vehicle. The only fix I have found was to pop in to neutral, turn off, and re-start the car. I will look at the power cord since you mentioned it.

What do you need a picture of? When the car starts it plays for about a minute, the interface is still there, just no sound.

I was refering to the post that Progress posted, not yours.
