I'm hoping someone has figured this out. I have a Sirius receiver. I did the manual install (the cheapy window mount unit) in an 04 4Runner with a JBL 6 disk changer. Sirius activated the account, the unit seems to be working properly but I am not yet able to get the static station to sync so that I am hearing the Sirius channels. I think I'm needing to find something equilivent to an input button on a TV remote to tell the radio to recognize the receiver. I have tried various static stations, all the instal troubleshooting tips they give, everything- I'm convinved it is something I need do to to the car radio, not the Sirius receiver. Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
Help needed regarding getting Sirius to work!

It's the Sirius One Radio with car kit this is the link if you need to see it. I can get to the FM transmit screen on the receiver where it lets me tell it what static station it should run through but then when I select the station I'm still hearing static, not the sirius.

Ok pretty simple unit.
Few things to look at.
have you tried several differant stations?
It should also have a output signal strength i forget correct term but you should see it in the menu.
I am actually deabating on getting this same thing sicne DEI has not coem out with the new PAN1 mudule fordirect hook up.
I know on the sportster there is actually a wire you plug in back for antena it does not go anywere reallyjust lays inside your dash to get the signal. it was about 10-12 inches long.

Also look to see if you need the antenna wire. I had the sportster in my Dodge didn't need the wire but in wife's honda i had to use it.
I couldnt tell online if its required or not.
Also mye whant to try getting a portable radio in there to try out. make sure the issue is the radio and not the sat unit.

As long as your portabel radio gets FM Signal yes it will work. Make sure you are getting a signal from Sirius.
That way you know were to take next step into figuring it out.
I just found user manual it does not require the antenna i was thinking of.
But you may wish to look on here for trouble shooting tips.

Ok I may be a big dummy but can you do me a favor, look at the pdf you just sent me, look at page 11, ok now I have the antenna pulled in to the antenna port, but which of those other ports is the other end of the power source supposed to go in to? the one that one side goes to the cigarette lighter, which of the ports does that go in to?? I wonder if I have it in the wrong one. It may be that simple... I am so grateful for your help with this!!
