Title: XM Radio No Sound
Post by: santosrph on March 18, 2024, 02:04:16 PM

I have a 2019 CVO Limited and just activated the XM radio as I have a long trip upcoming.  It appears to work properly, good signal strength, especially since I moved the antenna outside the fairing, and the channels display.   The radio shows the service has been activated.   However, I do not get any sound from the speakers.   The XM receiver came stock on the bike. 
Any suggestions?

Is the CB on with the squelch turned up?

 Thanks, I did shut off the CB, still no sound.   It’s very odd since everything looks like it is working fine.  I took off the fairing cover and could not notice anything unusual with the XM receiver.   Maybe I need to dig in further to ensure all connections are good.

Do you have the sound going to a wireless headset by chance.

No, The sound is routed to the speakers, although I did test that also.

Have you contacted SirusXM and asked them to send a refresh to your radio?

Yes.  Today I did a factory reset, and had to reinitialize XM to the radio and it seemed to accept it as I can see the stations.  The system does say it has active XM subscription.  I called a local dealer and he said I should not need any intervention as it should work out of the box. They did offer to check it out but I am sure it will cost me.   I removed the fairing again today to inspect, and could not see anything out of order.   I did reposition the antenna to outside the fairing and it has full 3 bar reception.

santosrph, did you get your XM working yet? If not, do you have sound on the AM/FM radio? Is the bike outside in the open so the signal isn't being blocked? Even if outside the XM signal can still be blocked by tall building or even a hillside. I think the XM satelites circle around the equator and the further north you are the lower the signal angle.

It still doesn’t have volume.  All other audio works, FM, Bluetooth, usb, etc.   I have strong signal from XM.    Thanks.
