ls973800 Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 I tried getting the weather radar map from Sirius Travel Link to show on my display, but it doesn't. I was driving while my wife tried it, but nothing. I pulled over and put the car in park, nothing. I then applied the E-brake while in park, and still nothing. I panned out on the map to include the area where Issac is but nothing showed. I checked the Sirius services and it shows I am subscribed to the Travel Link, weather, sports, traffic, fuel prices, etc. Any ideas why it's not working or how to get it to work?

tpm419419 Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Mine isn't showing most of the time. It did work occasionally however. My preset Sirius stations disappear as well. I am thinking the 2 are part of the same problem. Waiting for a loaner car this coming week and it will go in the shop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ls973800 Posted September 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 Thanks. I have the "latest" version of the MFT/SYNC and don't know how different it is from the 2011 models.. I know there were many updates from the earlier versions. I look forward to see what your dealer says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtbalser Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 Try removing the nav card and reinsert to reload. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ls973800 Posted September 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 OK. I'll try that tomorrow morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texasopa Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 I just hit the voice que button and say "Weather Map", and it comes up every time, but as you know here in North Texas, it usually doesn't have anything to show. The 1st time I had to zoom way out to see any activity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1st time I had to zoom way out to see any activity. I had tried saying "Weather Map" and nothing came up. I also used the touch screen button for "Map" but just saw a clear map with no radar or storms, etc. I panned out to where Issac is and still just saw a clear map. I'll be going out in about an hour and will try pulling the nav card out and reinserting it to see if that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texasopa Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 (edited) When you say "weather map" does she say "showing weather map"? You might also try "Gas Prices" to see if they show up.

ls973800 Posted September 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 (edited) I just tried again by pushing the button Map and I guess I am seeing a weather map. There are little spots of green scattered throughout the map portion. Nothing is moving, and there is no "sweep" of an arm or anything like you see on TV when they show the weather map. I tried expanding the area and all of the green disappeared. If that is the weather map, I guess everyone in the US is enjoying clear, sunny sky's! I get the same result saying "Weather Map" with the first screen showing some green in small areas, and a larger panning out showing nothing. She does say "showing weather map". Oh, and I did pull out the nav card and then re-inserted it. It don't make any difference of what is showing on the map. My movie times, fuel prices, etc do work. I am surprised that it says the sports info is disabled unless in park. Edited September 2, 2012 by ls973800 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texasopa Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 Yup, sounds like it's working. When there is weather on the screen you can see it update every 30 sec or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacyon Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Yep - did not ever work on my 2011 LTD AWD MFT Sony - Canceled my Travel Link - not much use for the ski conditions in Chicago either ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blankster Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 You can access Sirius to re-initialize your radio via the web.. There is also a phone app to do it also. You just need to be outside and have your radio tuned to 184 (I think). I re-initialized my radio and the weather map issue was repaired.

hrab8126 Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 I tried all of the above tricks to get my weather radar to display. The radar worked for a while after I first got the car, but right when I needed it, it didn't provide the usual updated screen. Essentially, the weather image was frozen. Nothing worked. I called Sirius and they tried re-sending a signal to my radio. Not sure why, since all of the other SiriusXm features worked, but I gave it a try. The customer support at Sirius said that I had a bad module and it needed to be replaced. Now hearing that someone else has had the problem, I'm not so sure it is a bad module. I've had my Edge for 9 months and this problem has presented itself more than I'd like to admit. So, the only thing that worked to get it going...... yep, you guessed it. I had to reboot the whole car....disconnecting the negative terminal on the battery. Wait about 5-10 minutes and then reconnect. You have to let all of those electrons dissipate out of the system. Once I went back into the Travel Link Weather screen, there was the rain on the screen that I knew was there all along. This works for 4-6 weeks, depending on how much weather you have in the meantime. Good luck. Hope it works for you. Sad that you pay this much for a feature that has this kind of bug. I'll do more research before I turn it over to be worked on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
