As title says trying to upgrade to RA2 Radio on my new to me 2026 Tradedmsn, 1500.

Issue is I almost got everything to work, am/fm, Bluetooth for my music.

But Sirius stuck on Acquiring Signal. I like Sirius, it works fine on RA1 radio.

I’ve installed and reinstalled a couple of times, Sirius still working with RA1 radio put back in.

eBay vendor sent 4 digit code that I entered when setting up radio all seemed fine except Sirius.

What am I missing onerous feature to work?

Thanks?

I think you need to turn your new radio to Sirius channel zero or one and call Sirius and update your radio id number with them

I wish I could, but nothing works while it’s “Acquiring Signal”, if there’s another way to tune I’m open, but thats why I feel stuck. And again, the old RA1 radio works fine.
