Q: When using Bluetooth, what does it mean when I do not hear audio?
A: There are several reasons that you might not hear audio:
• You have not paired and connected the SiriusXM Roady BT to your vehicle’s headunit. Refer to the Roady BT
Quick Start Guide
or User Guide, or the Bluetooth FAQs for instructions for pairing and connecting the SiriusXM
Roady BT to your vehicle’s headunit.
• Another device has paired with the vehicle’s headunit instead of the SiriusXM Roady BT. Disconnect the other
device and connect the SiriusXM Roady BT.
Q: When using the FM to listen to the SiriusXM Roady BT, what does it mean when I do not hear audio?
A: It may mean the SiriusXM Roady BT and the vehicle's FM radio are not tuned to the same available FM channel. First,
find and select an available FM channel in your area. You can find a list of available FM channels in your area by going to
the SiriusXM FM Channel Finder at
www.siriusxm.com/frequency and entering your zip code. Then, ensure that the
SiriusXM Roady BT and your vehicle's FM radio are tuned to that same FM channel. Refer to the
SiriusXM Roady BT User
Guide
for detailed instructions.
If the problem persists even after you have confirmed that the SiriusXM Roady BT and the vehicle's FM radio are tuned
to the same available FM channel, and you can see artist and song title information displayed on the SiriusXM Roady BT,
which confirms that your satellite radio is working properly and receiving the satellite signal, it is possible that some type
of inaudible interference is present that prevents reception of the SiriusXM Roady BT broadcast. Your only options are to
use different FM channel or a different audio connection solution.
Q: When using the FM Transmitter to listen to the SiriusXM Roady BT, what does it mean when the audio fades in and
out or has static?
A: First, check all the cables to ensure they are firmly and securely connected. Check to ensure the FMDA-25 is
connected to the FM connection of the Intelligent Power Adapter. If the problem persists, it may be due to interference
from commercial or broadcast FM radio station(s). You will need to find another unused or available FM channel in your
area. You can find a list of available FM channels in your area by going to the SiriusXM FM Channel Finder at
www.siriusxm.com/frequency and entering your zip code. Refer to the SiriusXM Roady BT User Guide.
Note: When driving through tunnels or under wide overpasses, you may temporarily stop receiving the satellite signal,
which will cause the audio to mute or fade out. You will see a message: "No Satellite Signal" if the SiriusXM Roady BT is
not receiving the signal. Reception should be restored when you exit the tunnel or overpass.
If the problem continues, use a different audio connection solution, such as Aux, if your vehicle has Aux In capability, or
Bluetooth if the vehicle headunit supports Bluetooth.
Q: The demo mode of my SiriusXM Roady BT is playing. What can I do?
A: You can press and hold the Select button for 10 seconds to exit demo mode. You can also disable demo mode. Refer
to
SiriusXM Roady BT User Guide for instructions.
