XM disappears
Twice now I have gone to XM and I get a channel, but in audio (Tech Pkg) all XM channels I had programmed are missing, all blank, in fact info is missing it no longer show category, channell nothing they are all blank. I can't change to a different XM channel; nothing all of a sudden is showing or working for XM. On my drives there are no obstruction issues all open sky! Has any one had this happen? I only have 1100 miles on my 08, and I have hard nothing in the way of XM having issues.

Is your 3 month free trial up? It sounds like either service was turned off or there's a hard ware issue like a bad antenna connection or something isn't plugged into the back of the radio properly. ??

I would loose signal if going through a tunnel, sometimes even going under an overpass, it would be sporadic and not for too long...

I found an Acura service bulletin with exactly these symptoms:

but my vehicle is out of range of the affected VINs and already has the latest software.
As for losing the XM signal in a tunnel or even between tall buildings this is normal behavior as your vehicle is probably out of view of the XM satellite.
