Intermittent Sat radio problem ---

[GrandpaKeys]

My SAT radio does not work when the radio is switched between FM and SAT radio. Upon startup of the i3, it's a crap shoot if the SAT radio works. Switching the radio between SAT and FM can cause the SAT to go dead. I rarely drive in Ecopro + mode.

I'd say the issue surfaces 50% of the time.

Anyone else have this frustrating problem? Perhaps it's a one of??

Does the screen say "aquiring" when you get not sat reception?

 

[GrandpaKeys]

Nada. Blank screen. No sound. When I switch to FM - instant on. Back to SAT --- 50/50. Sometimes reception and regular SAT screen.

Lack of responses leads me to believe there's a problem with the radio or a bad connection and is a problem unique to my car ---- I'll add it to a (short) laundry list to be addressed under warranty when the car under goes KLE and software update in the spring.

Well, the KLE is available now so if you wanted to go ahead and have it fixed you could.

You mean the entire screen goes blank? If the screen is going blank it sounds like a head unit problem. If it was a loose connection on the antenna would would get "aquiring" like you do if you park inside a garage and the car can't get sat reception.
