Hey all new to the site but used it once for the wire mod on the DVD/NAV setup.

 

I have been running the Sirius module in my Avic Z2 for several years without any problems. The other day it just stopped functioning, heres whats going on:

 

-Screen reads "SIRIUS" only, nothing else. It flashes and scrolls across the bar

-No sound

-None of the functions work, channels, band etc

-Originally was stuck to one channel- Until I uplugged the battery

-Now is stuck on channel 000

-Cannot change channels

-No help from Sirius

-No help from Pioneer

-All other functions on head unit work fine

 

I unplugged the battery in attempt to reset the system. When I started it back up it just reset to channel 000, but has the same problem- no sound/signal and none of the functions work

 

I tryed resetting the head unit with that tiny button near the vol control, no difference.

 

I pulled the Sirius module and unplugged all the connections, restarted with no difference.

 

I checked the connection in back of the head unit, all wires and connections appear to be ok.

 

Any advice or help is appreciated! thanks -Sal

If you have done a reset and checked the IP Bus cable at the sirius box and the back of the Z, then you have checked everything that could cause the issue. One other thing to check would be if you have an inline fuse for the sirius power wire...

I had a similar problem. No sound, could not change channels at all. When this does occur the only way I am able to correct it is to select the memo edit button and turn off and turn on game alerts. This fixes it for me every time. Hope this helps.

Started having this same problem on my F90BT just 2 days ago. Went through the same checks and no joy. Will do some consultation with professional installers to see if they have run into this before, but not holding my breath.
