8.4 Source default *SOLVED

Hello all.

Something has changed within the past 2 months or so and it’s driving me nuts.

Before this issue, whatever Source I was using when I turned the truck off, would continue when I started back up.

I listen to SiriusXM 99.99% of the time and since day one, SiriusXM would automatically begin after every restart. Without fail.

Now, whenever I start the truck again after work, shopping, gas….etc, Android Auto opens and I have to select the SiriusXM button every time to start listening. I’ve checked every setting in both my phone and Uconnect and I can’t find anywhere to set the default Source as “always at restart” or something like that. I want SiriusXM to play immediately when I start the truck…..like it did when I brought it home and setup my accounts! Worked like this for 2+ years.

Even if I unpair my phone and disable Android Auto, I STILL have to select the SiriusXM button as the Source to start music! :confused: I now have a $70k truck with a radio worse than the radio in my 1976 Chevy Scottsdale truck that played music immediately at start up. LMAO!!!

I tried to update radio but it says connect over WiFi only! WTF?!

Pics below show screen at start up without the SiriusXM button activated as shown in second pic, highlighted blue.

Am I missing a setting somewhere?? Any help would be great! Thanks!

Well, think I have it fixed. Decided to do a soft reset with the volume and tune knobs. Drove it all week with no issues. Everything works as it did prior to this hiccup! All is well in my world!

A soft reset seems to be the fix.
