Summary

This Preliminary information communicates a condition where the radio may display a “Connection not available, please call OnStar agent”.

Condition

The radio displays a message “Connection Unavailable, Please call OnStar Agent.” While this message is intended to alert the user to reasons for a reduced Sirius XM experience, it could display while listening to other audio sources such as AM, FM, etc.

 

Cause

This message may be caused by no OnStar connectivity. One reason that a lack of OnStar connectivity might occur is when a customer has not accepted, or has declined, the OnStar Terms and Conditions. This is an inherent operation of the system’s design because the Sirius XM 360L feature requires a cellular connection through OnStar. However, it was not intended tov have this message display unless Sirius XM was selected as the audio source.
