Anyone have any issues with the power supply cutting out? The problem appears to be at the unit source - used 2 different power cords. Almost like the connection is loose...? Can I just exchange the unit at Radio Shack?
TIA guys. |

I haven't had that problem.

| Mine does it sometimes. If I just leave the Starmate alone and don't touch it or change channels, its fine, but if I move it around and change channels, it'll lose power sometimes. |

It's doing it on both.
Thanks pegleg. That's what I've been doing, it's just a pain in the ass if I hit a bump on the expressway. I can't wait to get my Beamer back (Sirius is installed in the radio on that car) so I will only have to worry about keeping the unit still at home and work which isn't that big of a deal.
And sorry for posting this is the wrong forum.. never had an issue before so I wasn't sure where to put the question. |

| Mine started doing this same thing a couple weeks ago. It gets plugged & unplugged about 4 times a day as it goes from home to car to garage etc... Continually plugging something that often is bound to loosen things up a bit. I sure hope I don't get booted on my first post. |

| The same thing happened to me with my Starmate Replay. I called Sirius and told them what it was doing and they had me send it back into them and they replaced it with a brand new one free of charge. All i had to pay for was the shipping and handling. It took maybe a week to get my new radio so all is good. |

I'm going to call radio shack and see if they will do a swap. Makes more sence than sending it back to sirius. Thanks for the imput guys. |

Same thing here, except they upgraded my old Starmate to a new Starmate Replay...NICE... |

Just buy a new starmate, keep the new one and put your broken on in the box. Then tell them it doesnt work and return in.
Victimless crime! |
