Sirius Radio Intermitant
I have a 2007 335i E90 with the factory option Sat. radio. This is my first experience w/ Sat. radio. Every so often when I either turn the car on and the Sat. radio is on or turn from the tuner to Sat. none of the pre-programmed channels will come in. All the channels will go to Hits 1/ Channel 001. The reception quality is good. At times I can turn off the radio and then try again a while later and will will be fine and the programmed channels will come back. Sometimes it does not work. Is this normal? If not, is there a fix?

Odd. Do you have comfort access? If so, are both fobs in the car when this happens? I'm wondering if it's flipping over to the preset stations of the other fob, which if they haven't been set, seem to default to Hits 1 (god forbid).

I'd take it to the dealer.

Unless you are alternating key fobs, take it in for a look by the dealer.

I had the above problems, and the software update (mostly) fixed it for me.
Used to be sometimes I'd get no satellite radio until I'd parked the car for a while and restarted it, now if sirius doesn't work immediately, it will come on within about 30 seconds of starting the car, or immediately if i switch to the tuner and back. A big improvement from when it occasionally would just not work for a specific car trip.
