SOFAKING Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Any Radio xperts out there ? Installed an iSimple and XMv200 and it works great for about a month . Then everything blacks out .No nav , no camera, no volume control and no AM/FM. I go to JM Lexus and they reboot and voila it works . This lasts a while and bing it does it again . After several moths I switched to a Vais SL3 and while the radio works on all XM stations the Text showing the station number , genre etc is constantly flashing . I switched the xm tuner out and rebooted but same thing . Driving me nuts . Any ideas ??? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

914lps Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Sounds to me like either a bad radio, or a bad power connection. Either the the positive or negative. You said you did the instal. Make sure all you connections are good. A test light may show good, but the connection could be good enough for a meter or light, but not for the radio to power right. Also try shaking and moving the power wires, etc., as you test them.

SOFAKING Posted August 7, 2013 Author Share Posted August 7, 2013 Solved : Turns out that after switching to a Vais unit a different issue turned up . We sent a video and Vais suggested there might be another XM unit somewhere in the car . We searched to trunk and found a Sirius Tuner connected to an interface . We removed this unit and now everything works as it should . My thanks to Rick at Precision Performance , Davie FL. for being persistant .
