Troubleshooting
SiriusXM® use-related issues
SymptomCauseSolution method
SiriusXM
® loads slowly. Since SiriusXM Travel Link
® re‐
ceives data from geo-synchronous
satellites and the data is transmitted
at preset intervals. When the system
is loading the SiriusXM
® data in the
background, There may be occa‐
sions when the SiriusXM
® function
is waiting on data before it can be
accessed. Allow time for SiriusXM Travel
Link
® to complete the loading of
the SiriusXM® data.
Apple CarPlay™ use-related issues
Symptom CauseSolution method

even though an Apple
®-genuine

nect it.

ting 1. Use the commander switch to
complete the task or wait until
there is sufficient network con‐
nectivity before using Siri
®
again.

® lan‐
guage is set correctly (Example:
