I’ve had the issue since owning my 25 R1T that Sirius will just start over on a previous song played and I’ll need to skip forward to live listening. But since this last update it happens much more in random areas around Denver. I realize it works off cell towers but you’d think it could be much more continuous when driving around town. Are others still having this issue?

I saw this issue, and also for a few days would get Unable to Authorize messages and it would no work at all. There would be no way to log in or out. I was always seeing Slow Internet messages also.

I traded in my R1T 2 days ago, so no longer have to deal with this issue.

Yes mine is also a bit quirky at times. Seems to cut songs short at times. Title is sometimes displayed wrong. Mostly works fine. And the third day after the 2026-03 update the XM finally re-authenticated to start playing again.

Never had these issues using the phone app to play in my truck through BT.

Last vehicle was on satellite and was perfect.

Other than (the highly compressed and clipped) audio quality vs the stream. And here in Minnesota with the shallow satellite angle, it always losing signal in the shadow of anything two stories or more taller.

Mine glitches a lot as well, but no different after the latest update. I sure would love to see a way to toggle to the next saved station using the steering wheel though!

Unfortunately Satellite angle has nothing to do with it. One of my biggest pet peeves with my Rivian is their decision to forgo satellite radio in favor of SiriusXM internet streaming. Sure we get more stations, but for a company that puts so much emphasis on their adventure capabilities and locating their adventure network chargers so we can get off the beaten path, why on earth would they choose to use streaming services that rely on cellular connectivity rather than satellite that works almost everywhere?!

Back to the topic of this thread. I have also experienced the song repeat issue recently. I hadn't considered that it was related to the latest update but it probably is.

I got the same Unable to Authorize message right after the update. Sirius was unusable for like a day. But then it seemed to fix itself and has been fine.

I have noticed it can repeat a song every once in a while. Not sure what that is about.

I wanted to rage post about the app and then saw this post. I dont understand what the fudge is wrong with it. I dont want to have to soft reset the system because the darned app is hanging up. Is there no way to restart it another way?

Also have the unable to authorize error, and it seems to be more frequent after the last update. Only soft reset or letting the car sleep clears it. Gen 1 R1S.

If I were to guess, it seems to happen when opening the app with low LTE reception. It doesn’t recover even when LTE signal improves.

Hmmm Maybe it’s Sirius that’s dead and not the app. Haven’t tried soft reset today, just went to Apple music

When mine went out, I was able to stream from my phone. And my other cars with sat antennas worked fine.

Yep, same here, I could not authenticate while we ran errands today and it has been sketchy the last couple of weeks. It finally started working when I got home and it connected to my wifi. Streaming XM is the biggest pet peeve for my wife. On the positive side we have been listening to more audio books on our regular trips to the mountains.
