I just purchased this used 2004 TL.

I pretty much tried every possible way to get these work.

XM radio does not scan other channels.

It does not work via CD audio.

Please HELP!!!

 

1) The prior owner didn't subscribe to XM/Sirius
2) You have an iPod cable but don't know what adapter you have.
3) You have a USB cord and I'm not sure what it's for

You can try to locate the prior owner to see what he/she installed in terms of adapter or take on the project yourself to take out some of the console to find out what adapter you currently have (which isn't very difficult and instructions are on Azine in the 3G garage).

By the way, depending on the interface/adapter, you can hit the CD button twice to gain access to the adapter to make it work. However it really does depend on what adapter you have.

Where does the white cord go?

 

I asked my dealer for the previous owner but no luck.
The grey cable is just a usb cable i put in.
I tried pushing the CD button twice.
Yea.. It's a ipod cable and a female usb cable.
I guess my only option is to take out the console and find out what adapter I have??

 

to cure bad breath; just pop a mentos!

 

Unfortunately, yes. But, if it's connected to an adapter that no longer works (or you can see what you have and make it work), it's a perfect opportunity to install a new, working device (if that's what you're looking to do), as you would need to tear into the center console anyway.

 

.....and wash them down with some Listerine. Don't forget to sanitize your hands afterwards

 

This thread delivers.

 

Goofballs........

 

Yup - was thinking the same thing

 

push xm twice for channel 2 so u can use the ipod, aux input or usb

 

I have tried and failed:
-pushing the CD button twice
-XM2
I am pretty sure those are the only options to access to the adapter.
I am assuming that the adapter stopped working.
If possible, would factory resetting the navi system work to get it working again??

 

try to press the mode button on the steering wheel a few times to switch between fm / cd / usb inputs ???

 

Does not work....

 

I know for my iSimple you have to hit the XM button and then use the tuner knob to select between aux 1, aux 2, and iPod settings. maybe try that?

 

I swear... i tried that and everything else. Im gonna try resetting the navi and see if that works which i doubt

 

It could be a bad aftermarket unit also. Best thing to do is to take it to a Car Audio shop and see how much they would charge to troubleshoot.

 

^or troubleshooting it yourself by taking the aftermarket unit out.
