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
Apple CarPlay™ cannot launch
even though an Apple
®-genuine
connector cord is inserted into the
USB port and it is connected to my
iPhone
®. You used the wrong USB port.
Use the USB port displaying the
mark to start Apple CarPlay™.
The error message, “Mobile device
error” is displaye d after connecting
my iPhone
® to the USB port. There is mis-communication be
‐
tween the vehicle's audio system

the USB port once and then recon
‐
nect it.
The icon of the application I want to
use is not displayed on the home
screen of Apple CarPlay™. Only applications compatible with
Apple CarPlay™ are displayed on
the screen.
Contact the application's supplier.
Voice recognition using Siri
® is
poor or incorrect for commands or
contact names. There are many possible reasons for
this such as:
1. Poor network connectivity
2. Road noise/sound of air blow
‐
ing from air conditioner
3. Incorrect iPhone
® language set‐
ting 1. Use the commander switch to
complete the task or wait until
there is sufficient network con ‐
nectivity before using Siri
®
again.
2. For better voice recognition, speak loud and clear.
3. Make sure that the iPhone
® lan ‐
guage is set correctly (Example:
US English vs UK English).
If you are still having difficulty us ‐
ing Siri
®, visit the Apple® support
site or contact Apple®.

volume between Bluetooth
® audio
and Apple CarPlay™. ―Check the volume of the audio on
the device connected via Blue
‐
tooth®. The volume on some devi ‐
ces connected via Bluetooth® can be
adjusted.
