For those with SIRIUS radio...

Well when I bought the car it was already an extra included but lately when I hit bad bumps my service goes out and it says "linking" on the display. Tuner and CD all work fine though...The only other time it happens if Im in some kind of tunnel.

The main box is in the trunk and I have never tampered with it and touched any wires. I honestly dont know too much about it thats why. Any remedies on how to fix this? Could the bumps have loosened a wire? Anyone experience this?

thanks in advance

SATELLITE radio is always going to lose signals in tunnels because it needs to acquire a signal from a satellite..

Mine does the same, and its freaking annoying, it goes out for no reason at all.

All I have to do is wiggle all the wires and the next time I turn on the car it comes back.

Buts it’s bizarre since nothing is loose.

Check all of your grounds, even the ones that "should not" effect it.
