Signal Indicator
Signal Indicator will visually display the strength of the satellite and terrestrial signals being received.
For best reception, your Magnetic Mount Antenna should have an unobstructed view of the SiriusXM
satellites. In large cities, there are also terrestrial
transmitters (ground repeaters) to help increase the
signal coverage.
1. In the Swipe Area, swipe to Settings, swipe up or
down if necessary, and tap Signal Indicator.
2. Tap the Back icon in the upper left corner to exit.
Power Options
Power Options allow you to set how Commander Touch behaves when the power button is pressed
to turn Commander Touch off, and when power is removed from the ACC (accessory) power
connection.
There are two modes, Standby Mode and Sleep Mode. Standby Mode requires that the ACC
(accessory) power connection is connected to the ACC connection in your vehicle. If instead your
installation connected the ACC power connection together with the BAT (battery) power connection,
Commander Touch can only function in Sleep Mode.
SiriusXM strongly recommends that you properly connect the ACC line and use Standby Mode. Sleep
mode should only be used for installations where the vehicle does not have a switched power source
for the ACC connection.
1. Standby Mode: Standby mode has two types of behavior, depending upon whether the ACC
(accessory) power connection has power.
~ ACC power connection has power (when the vehicle’s ignition is on): Pressing the Power
button for one second will turn off the display screen, turn off the FMDA25 FM Direct Adapter
(if used in the installation), and turn off the Power button light. The tuner will remain on and the
channel content will be temporarily stored. When the Power button is pressed again, the screen
will turn back on, and the channel will play.
TIP! A typical scenario would be where your vehicle is running, but you wanted to turn
Commander Touch off so you could listen to something else on the vehicle’s stereo system,
like the AM or FM radio, but wanted to return to the channel you were listening to on
SiriusXM and not miss anything.
~ ACC power connection does not have power (when you turned the vehicle’s ignition off): If
the Delayed Power Off Mode is set to Off, Commander Touch will turn off. You will need to
press the Power button to turn it on again.
If the Delayed Power Off Mode is set to 10, 20, or 30 minutes, the display screen, the FMDA25
FM Direct Adapter (if used in the installation), and the Power button light will turn off. The tuner
will remain on, the current channel will be paused, and the channel content will be temporarily
stored. If power is restored to the ACC power connection (the vehicle’s ignition is turned back
on) before the delayed power off time expires (10, 20, or 30 minutes), the screen will turn back
on, and the channel will resume playing from the point where it was paused. If the delayed
power off timer expires before power is restored to the ACC power connection, Commander
Touch will turn itself off.
