Is this to be expected?

I enjoyed the xm radio all day. Setup the tent and went to move the jeep. This screen pops up on start. I close it, and get a welcome from xm radio saying my 90 day trial started. But zero stations work, and it shows no signal. Not even the preview channel with the radio ID would play.

I found on the interwebs, to have a good ATT signal and clear view of the sky and restart a few times... In the middle of nowhere, full 5G ATT signal and nothing around the Jeep. Nothing so far.

WTF Jeep? I can't see a dealer until Tuesday at the earliest.

At least android auto works so I don't have any music while driving.

look thru the menu for the XM options, I think I had to take mine off demo after it reset itself after an update

Seems like a Jeep GPS malfunction. GPS uses satellite, just like XM radio. They may share the same antenna.

mine would stop working on a clear day while in route, the entire radio would stop working, sometimes the GPS would want me to make a u-turn all the way to my destination, start again with the same shit the next morning; usually had to check multiple times for updates then disconnect all batteries when that failed.
shitty system

XM radio works fine for me, given the little time I use it. The Garmin is vastly better than the built in GPS. Somehow Garmin has an advisory that US-60 is closed in the west-bound direction for the past few months and wants to add 3 hours to the route (at almost the last moment) to take highway 40 instead (and won't take 'no' for an answer. While trying to understand the problem I saw these interesting route proposals to get to Datil (which was where I was already at). This stupidly causes one to distrust navigation systems:

Take it back to the dealer. Sometimes a simple software update that they may perform will solve the issue. Had this happen on plenty of GM vehicles when I worked there.
