mikerj1998 Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 I'm having trouble getting my Sirius satellite radio to work on my used 2008 Edge I bought 2 years ago. The dealer said the car was equipped with all the equipment but just needed to be re-activated for the Sirius to work (the car even has the small sticker on the window indicating this). Until now I never used Sirius, but I recently decided to get the service. As I was trying to activate the service, I couldn't get the Radio ID per the instructions from Ford and Sirius (i.e., hold AUX and Preset 1), but Sirius was able to find the radio via the VIN # and activate the radio. However, I cannot get the radio to tune/switch into the satellite mode. The instructions/guides all say to press AUX repeatedly to tune from AUX, SAT1, SAT2, SAT3. I can only get it into AUX mode - not any of the SAT tuners. Any ideas as to what might be wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krow Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 Was the OEM radio swapped out for another one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitulu Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 If you have the stock full-screen Navigation stereo system, on the "Media" page there should be, across the top of the screen, user device, FM1, FM2, AM, CD, and SM. Press the SM button on the screen to tune to the Sirius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
az_edge Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 The trouble with Sirus is that the audio quality is a joke. It sounds like streaming music with a 56k modem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
