Tipper Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Every now and then when I start my car, my right navigation display behind the steering wheel will display a sirius channel but will be playing a FM channel not in HD. I have to then scroll down and select FM to enable the HD sound and correct display. I never subscribed to Sirius and don't wish to. Does anyone have a fix for this? Up down up down, left right left right, A B? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leftoverture Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 It always helps to state your model year when asking questions, though I found in your profile you have a 2016, which I believe is still Sync 2. I never experienced this same issue in my Sync 2 equipped MKZ, but if you are talking about the display in between the tach and speedometer, you can turn that off if you want. It is really only an alternate menu display and it can show items that are not actually selected. Our maybe you are describing something else and I'm not understanding. Feel free to post pictures, that would probably help tremendously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While you may not have ever subscribed to Sirius, the vehicle came with a complementary subscription (usually ~6 months) and Sirius radio capability. However, this is the first time I have heard of this problem, and am not sure why your Driver Information Center display sometimes displays a Sirius channel that is not playing, nor a way to stop it from doing so. If I come across something, I will post back. I am sure another member will jump in to help if they can. Keep us updated and good luck.

Multitask Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 BEcause it is random, it is hard to say what it is. Maybe a Master Reset will help? Maybe... A trip to the dealer might be in order.... depending on warranty, etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomV Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Perhaps you can disconnect the satellite antenna from the ACM and see if that kills Sirius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shtaka Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I have the same issue with my 2017 with base radio. I had Sirius, but cancelled. Also noted that page with FM presets displays wrong station. If I touch correct station dashboard display changes appropriately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multitask Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Make sure you are at the latest (from Lincoln) update, maybe a Factory Reset (it gets rid of settings) will allow you to re setup the stations... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
