    Mercedes Benz problems with Sirius

    Has anyone else had this problem? I own an 09 C300 MB and cannot seem to get any help from MB or Sirius for a problem with this service. When I tune to Sirius, all I get is an error message stating either "acquiring signal" or "updating channels". Sirius keeps sending a refresh signal but to no avail. MB service does not seem to have a clue and wants me to bring it in for a diagnostic. Any advice?

    Acquiring signal makes me think its an issue with the antenna wire/connection but the "updating channels" message means the antenna is working. I've never heard of this.

    Unless the signal is hanging on by a thread and trying to update the channels but it cant hold a signal long enough to download the update.

    I would just bring it to the dealer. There is likely an issue in the connection from the antenna to the radio -- unless you can tear apart your car and chase that wire, you're going to have to bring it in anyway.

    [FONT=Arial Black][B][B]I also have a 09 C300 with the exact same problem. MB service wants me also to bring it in for a diagnostic. I would really appreciate hearing what fixed your problem. Thank you for your reply. pbenja7788@aol.com

    Older Mercedes installed radios can only receive 140 channels so when more than 140 channels are pushed to the radio, it goes into a acquiring signal mode.

    "My Satellite problem has been fixed by Sirius, probably permanently. They do it by putting your SDARS unit's EIN into a "protected tier" in their computer system so that when they tell their system to send all the channels for free, our radios do not accept more than the total number of channels which our head units were designed to hold which causes them lock up."

    "SiriusXM has established a process where they add the ESN of the affected vehicle to a "protected tier" they have established for these MB vehicles in their system. It prevents the radio from seeing the additional channels and thus solves the problem. Regional Manager names for direct customer interaction (they can fill you in on more detail should you need it). Now finding the right person at Sirius to execute is the challenge."
