MJB3 Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 The display in my 2017 Sport frequently has the message "Sirius XM Updating". This occurs almost daily. Occasionally the phone will not attach. Also, the screen goes blank now and again. Sometimes it fires back up on the previous screen, some times I get the Blue Oval. My dealer had it for a day and claimed to have updated something but the issue with the Sirius and the phone persist. Any thoughts on the matter?

akirby Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 Sirius XM updates are normal and yes, very frequent especially the last year or so. But that comes from Sirius not Ford. Irritating but normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onyxbfly Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 You can remove Sirius XM as an audio option, which will remove the nagging Sirus XM update notification with Forscan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB3 Posted January 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 Akirby, It is interesting that my wife's 2018 Honda CR-V with Sirius XM has never displayed the update message in almost 6 months of use. The problem with the Sirius XM in my Edge did not manifest itself until after 6 or more months of service. On one occasion the message read something like "need to validate unit" or something to that effect. The failure of the phone to be recognized started about the same time.

I believe Honda uses XM radios while Ford uses Sirius (yes they are different even though it’s one company now). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
