XM button stopped working
Hey guys I have an iSIMPLE installed and have had it installed for over a year now no problems...all of a sudden nothing happens when trying to select XM...
I have tried mode and the XM button also disconnecting my battery negative cable for 3 plus hours (twice)...nothing..
My questions are based on me searching already and seeing other people with similar problems but nobody following their thread saying what had worked!!! other than a quick disconnect
I found one thread stating "press map+menu+guide and go to f-can or b-can"
WHAT IS THAT>? my map and guide button are the same button...? What am I doing wrong
Also where is my xm radio box and where would you think my installer installed the isimple box...under the dash? I will call....I would like to unplug the xm unit plugs and re plug them in...
thanks I know a long thread but I hope SOMEBODY will help me and I dont have 200 views and 1 response that does me simply no good..

I'm having a similar problem. I just swapped out my old unit for a new one that'll work with my iPhone 4. After putting in the new unit, my XM button stopped working, therefore, I'm not able to access my MP3's.
When I go into the diag. screen and select Navi, it shows the XM in red.
Didn't have time to unplug the harness from behind the radio. Seems like that's the recommended solution - unplug harness, and replug.
Any other ideas?

I said let me do some research and get back to you on that. Interestingly saw this post and saw that a few of us have the same problem around the same time.
I did what was suggested by TLperfection.
First try: unplugged the cable connecting the Isimple unit to the ipod....This did not fix the problem.
Second try: unplugged the Isimple unit from the cable connecting the unit to the XM and Radio. Drove home, about 15 minutes...This worked as mentioned above.
Averted spending at most $3200.

Thank you! I noticed the problem a few days ago when I decided to listen to XM on the way to the dealer for an oil change. I told them about it and after their diagnostic they told me that the navigation system is going bad and needs to be replaced. $3100 for the unit and $100 in labor.

When I plug my old iSimple unit in, it picks up instantly. But with the new unit it shows the red XM in the diag. screen.

I plugged back the iSimple after playing with XM for a few minutes. It is still working.
I've had my iSimple unit since early 2010. I am guessing it it the old unit.
