My Sirius stopped working in my 2025 Air this afternoon. It still works in my other locations. Did anyone notice something similar?

Does it display an error message, like, “Not Authenticated”. I’ve had similar issues and they go away after a while.
 
I get the "Not Authenticated" and the "No Internet Access" from time to time, making Sirius XM not working. Usually comes back on after a few minutes. Sometimes it does not come back for the entire trip (20-30 minutes). But it will usually be fine the next rip. I have rebooted the car and that usually solves it.

Same thing happens in my Gravity. I really wish they had a reboot of the Internet and audio systems we could do while driving. I can do that in our Porsche Macan while driving. But the Gravity requires the brake pedal to be pushed.

No message displayed. It was as if the ap had dissappeared. I did nothing, and this morning when I drove away, it worked perfectly. Thanks
 
As with most things in this software stack

I finally got tired of Sirius being there, and then not. Its likely due to terrible ATT Cell service here. (My Wi-fi is off.)

Here is my current Satellite Sirius and ham radio installation. I'm happy that Lucid Air designers provided such a generous and well located electronics bay!

Did you have to mount an antenna somewhere?

The Sirius satellite antenna is inside in the area beneath the front window, held on with double sided trape. Sirius does drop out when I go under some dense trees.

The ham antenna is a suction cup mount outside, on the trunk. If the Sirius tree droput problem becomes too annoying, I'll move that antenna to the trunk lid also.

For the past 2 days, the car's Sirius (via cell) has worked. It must sense competition.

This morning I had zero bars from ATT/Sirius/Cell and it continued for a few miles. That was enough, and I moved my Sirius antenna outside to the rear window of the Lucid. Here is a picture of my Sirius and ham antennas. The Sirius antenna is held on with Gorilla double sided tape. The wiring is easy by flipping down the back seat and following my 12V path.

Since my At&T cell neighbors do not have phone troubles, I wonder if ATT gives a lower grade of service or coverage to their Sirius distribution business.

Here is my setup. Using a Command Touch which was the smallest XM adapter I can get. I use an FM transmitter (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XZ7W4WQ) which has a decent antenna. I took these picture in the garage, hence no signal.

The XM antenna is between the rear seats and the rear headliner. It works quite well. The only dropout I get is when driving through heavily wooded areas, which are quite rare here in AZ:

Great! At least with Sirius Satellite service I feel that i'm not at the mercy of the AT&T Cell signal and the Lucid hardware/software.
 
So @Alex and @Steve181 : you guys have installed a separate XM Radio and antennae system, no?
Yes. I wrote about a long time ago. I use both the internet software and the satellite XM. Need the satellite for driving in the mountains where there is no cell reception.
