SiriusXM issues in 2025 Explorer ST

[brycedallen]

Hey, gang,

Anyone with a 2025 ST had issues with SiriusXM?

My regular channels sound fine. But the Xtra channels (the ones which stream) have little blips every few seconds like the data is missing. The sound just goes out for a split second every few seconds. My network appears to connect fine, and Amazon Music isn't doing this.

Of course, neither the dealership nor SiriusXM has a suggested fix.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Yes, mine does that too. I think that is an issue with SiriusXM and not the hardware in the vehicle.

It does the blip thing on the app too. The issue was ticking me off while I was mowing yesterday.

On some of my vehicles I have had to reset the SiriusXM radio. Had to call them to do it.

Mine works perfect on my 2023. Hardware is different on 2025, that would make me wonder...

In my '25 ST Sirius/XM will occasionally go silent in the middle of a song for a second or two and then come back on. At first I thought it was because I drove under an overpass or something else obstructing the antenna but it has also happened out in the open. The other day a song would just quit in the middle but when I toggled over to another station everything was normal. This is annoying but still better than the Sirius tuner in my 2019 Mazda CX-9 which would often stop working and make me go online and have Sirius send the radio a code to get it to resume operating. Bothersome to be sure but better than the static and commercial filled AM stations and 8-tracks of yesteryear.

I've done that with the "reset" via signal. No dice. Did you have a different type of reset?
