Dead XM button???

So about two weeks ago I installed the pheripheral unit for my ipod. It's been working great up until last night....

I hit the CD button to listen to a few tracks. Then later that night I get back into my car and hit the XM button to listen to my ipod. I get nothing. Not even XM radio. The button is completely dead. I even tried cycling through the mode options on my steering wheel and it just goes to FM1 FM2 AM and CD. Doesn't even recognize XM.

I know the Ipod is still getting juice because it's being charged...

Any ideas??

one of your cables might be loose, check your connections.

You can also reseat the cables (pull all of them out, place them back in) on the PXAMG unit .. should be fine afterwards.. for whatever reason, the y-adapter cable has a very weak "lock" to the OEM XM input cable (that originally inserted into the back of the OEM headunit) .. you may want to check this first and use some electric tape to secure it once you re-seated it.
