Same problem here I've had my 09 Accord back twice now for the XM with the same issues. I can almost alway duplicate the problem by going through stations quickly and the dealer's watched me do this. But, it's also been died after loosing signal for a short period of time, such as stopped next to to a building or under an overpass. And once it was just dead when I started the car. Interestingly, the display continues to function properly, reporting the proper station and song/show/etc., ever when changing channels.
First they replaced the radio, then the XM tuner. I'm still having the problem and the service department is speaking with the Honda rep today, we'll see what they say. The local dealer's frustrated because Honda told them this is the only incident they've ever seen, but now the dealer has two of us and I'm seeing a few more complaints on the web.
If they ever get this figured out, I'll post a reply. Until then, I'm not paying the subscription. The dealer has offered to have my free period extended (the car's only 60 days old), which I'll take them up on. |
