My Sirius Stiletto 2 can not find a signal; what am I doing wrong?

Question

I just recently bought a stiletto 2 for sirius radio. I have it connected to an existing account and all other devices work but I can't seem to find a signal for the stiletto. They come with antenna headphones but they are so big and bulky I don't want to wear them. I was hoping the stiletto would have its own antenna but it can not find a signal inside or outside. What can I do?

Answer 1

The radio itself does have an internal antenna but it's not the greatest for reception.  The headphones do help quite a bit.  Even if you don't plan on using the headphones, you can at least plug them in to use as an antenna.  Try moving it around to find the best reception.  You can always plug a good fm transmitter or other headphones in the other output jack.  The home and car kit for the radio come with a decent antenna also.
