Default If you ever get your Sirius to work 100% correctly, let me know!

When I installed my RNS-E into my car, I ditched my XM... but I know the new XM receivers work 100% fine w/the RNS-E.

I installed an RNS-E in my coworkers car as well. He had Sirius and still wanted to keep it, so we ordered the new Sirius unit. However we've been getting a wierd problem.

He can receive all stations. However, when he changes channels he gets a brief error message on the RNS-E: "ANNTENNA. A technical problem occurred. Contact your Audi dealer for support." It displays for about 2 seconds before it (successfully) changes the channel. The delay is annoying and the error message is concerning to us.

So if you get it to work or anyone else has any suggestions, let me know!

Default With that bit of advice, I think I'll just go back to XM...

My last car had XM, this one has (had) Sirius...I like XM much better. Don't really care to listen to Stern nor Martha...

Sounds like bad antenna or a bad unit. My sirius works fine.

Default Hmm we did get the new tuner... unless we need a newer one??

Which would suck cuz he just bought the "new" tuner when we installed the RNS-E a few months ago. He posted a thread up on navplus with no luck:

I already ordered NEW Bose Adapters. I will send them out as soon as I got them.
I'm really sorry for this inconvenience..
Don't worry, this problem will be solved without any problem.
hi Powertony

i have had a rns-e put back in my car but I have no sound from rear speakers. Can you help me please?
