SiriusXM Aviation data service elements are updated at multiple rates. Dynamic elements like radar and lightning are updated every 2.5 minutes, while other more stable data elements are updated every 60+ minutes. It's important to note that there are two variables at work with our broadcast weather service: data update rates and transmit intervals. While a product source may be updated every 30 minutes, the same data may be transmitted every 5 minutes to ensure your display is up to date. SiriusXM worked with its avionics partners to arrive at the optimal cadence of updated data and transmit intervals to ensure customers receive critical information in a timely manner.
SiriusXM Aviation coverage area includes southern Canada. Canadian residents can subscribe to SiriusXM Aviation at siriusxm.ca/aviation.
First, verify with SiriusXM that your receiver has an active subscription. Once verified, follow these steps if your Garmin avionics display continues to show a SiriusXM subscription status of "None":
- Power on the avionics and confirm that a strong SiriusXM signal is present on the SXM Info page of the MFD.
- Go to siriusxm.com/signal and enter the 8-character Data Radio ID to send a refresh signal.
- Manually tune to channel 0.
- Wait 5 seconds.
- Manually tune to channel 1.
- Wait 5 minutes for the signal refresh to complete.
- Check whether the subscription status now shows something other than "None." Verify that weather data is being received and displayed on the avionics.
- If the subscription status continues to display "None," call 1-800-985-9200 and request that the subscription be suspended.
Note, on certain aircraft managed as part of a fleet within SiriusXM, if SiriusXM customer care cannot suspend the service, they should cancel the service. - Leave the system powered on for 15 minutes after the suspension is initiated, then power down all avionics.
- Wait 1 minute, then power the avionics back on.
- Confirm that the unit is still tuned to channel 1 and that the subscription status now displays "No Subscription" or is blank.
- Call 1-800-985-9200 again and request that the subscription be unsuspended/reactivated to Active status.
- Leave the system powered on for 20 minutes.
- Verify that the correct "Pilot" weather subscription status is displayed. Confirm that weather data is being received and displayed on the avionics.
- If this does not resolve the issue, please email aviation.support@siriusxm.com for further assistance.
