Frequent ask questions & troubleshooting

Don't all STS radios have built-in XM tuners?

NO!

Unlike AM/FM tuners, the XM tuner module is not bult-into the radio.

XM module is a metal box (See Fig. 21) installed in remote location (trunk,

hatch, glovebox area etc.) and connects to the AM/FM radio via a 16-pin

harness. For the A2DIY-STS to work, vehicle must have module pictured in

Fig. 22 below. See question #5.

2. Will the A2DIY-STS work in vehicles with Navigation?

YES;

works in both Navigation and non-navigation radios with XM module

seen in Fig. 21

3. My XM subscription has long expired, will the A2DIY-STS still work?

YES;

as long as XM module remain in vehicle.

4. My XM subscription is active. Will it be lost after installing the A2DIY-

STS?

NO, this module retains XM subscription. Select "Subscribed". If

subscription has expired; an AUX input jack is provided.

NOTE: If not currently subscribed but plan to renew at a future date,

select "Subscribed" otherwise XM will not play through upon renewal.

5. I'm not the original vehicle owner and don't know if it has an XM

module. How can I verify vehicle has required XM module?

Turn radio "ON", press "BAND" button repeatedly to cycle through

AM/FM/CD/XM. If only AM/FM/CD is displayed, vehicle is NOT

compatible. Navigation radios: if XM softkey is "grayed out", vehicle

does not have XM tuner and not compatible with this part.

6. My STS has factory Hands-free kit but does not support streaming. Is

there something you offer to add streaming?

YES;

purchase our

A2D-STS

to add music streaming to factory system.

The A2D-STS will not interfere with factory hands-free kit. Pair smart

device to both modules.

7. Can I use steering wheel or radio buttons to control music playback?

NO; you must use included media button or Smartphone built-in controls

and display for access/controls.

Do I have to pair smartphone to module in order to listen to XM or AUX?

NO, XM or AUX playback is possible without paring phone. Simply place radio

in XM mode (press BAND button) and XM (if subscribed) or AUX device will

play. To stream music or initiate/receive Bluetooth calls, smartphone must

be paired to module and radio must be in XM mode.

9. My module connects and pairs, but playback is distorted, low or

intermittent. What can be done to remedy this?

This is possible in vehicles with Bose amplifiers where the radio does not

provide enough current to turn on amplifier and power module. In these

situations use extension wire included in kit to power module from alternate

power source (go to page 3)
