SiriusXM Updating Every Time I Start My RR

[sweeks888]

Does everyone's SiriusXM update for 15 - 30 seconds every time they start their vehicle?
I don't think this is just tied to my 2024 RR, I think it's a Sirius issue within the SYNC 4 platform, possibly tied to the "start over or similar music" features available. Whatever it is, it's annoying AF and I can't find a way to prevent it from doing so within the settings. Every time I start my RR, even if I just shut it off... Sirius thinks it needs to update all channels, etc. (or whatever it's doing) and while this is going on, you cannot change the station.
I tried disabling auto updates, but that appears to only be tied to the SYNC 4 platform for vehicle specifics and I don't want to disable other feature updates (i.e. Wi-Fi, navigation, etc.) to stop this annoyance... just the continual Sirius updates at vehicle startup. Thanks group...

Yes, it's annoying as all get out. It strictly a Sirius thing. Same thing happens in my Wife's Bronco Sport with Sync3...

If you want SiriusXM, but at a lower cost, drop the subscription on the truck and change it to an internet subscription. I made this move 3 years ago, it gives me streaming via any internet connected device which means I have it in the truck via the Android app (or Car Playif that's what you use). It's significantly cheaper to run it this way, $5.00 per month promo rate, $10 per month at full cost..

LOL... I got in on the ground floor of Sirius, when they merged with XM back in about 2008 and at that time, lifetime subscriptions were available... I bought 2 (transferable to different vehicles, small charge), have never paid a subscription charge since.
