Sirius XM radio?

[lstitcher]

I'm in the final stages of configuring a system with two TZT3's and wehave the bbw4 module. I had a Sirius account from a prior boat which was kept active at the minimum level. I've set up the radio with Siriius but can't see any channels? I found this sentence on the Furuno website for the BBW4 - "Requires a Sirius/XM weather service subscription, sold separately".

Do I need a weather subscription to get music through the BBW4?

Thanks,

Lance

If you go:
Home/Furuno - Settings - Initial Setup - Sensor List
Can you see the BBWX4 in the list?
Even without a subscription their advertising channel pops up and plays audio.

Thanks @FishTech, I got this sorted out yesterday afternoon. I was trying to control it through Fusion, instead of Sirius. That was on me. Seemed intuitive to go to Fusion to try and change channels.

Yeah, not a fan of that setup. I would rather control my stereo sound through the stereo not have to turn on a display to change the station when sitting at the dock. Also not a fan of the fact that now my audio is being piped into the head unit through old school RCA jacks. One of the reasons I haven't added the BBWX4 to my system yet.

Agreed. BBWX4 sound quality of Sirius radio output is horrible. All other inputs the sound is great, I placed a cd player into the AUX! input and it played clearly, same input connected to BBWX4 audio output was horrible... Need a solution

BBWX3

My BBWX3 was working fine but as of a few days ago it is no longer communicating on the network. The device shows on all three of my TZT3s, with the IP address but the line is greyed out. All LEDs on the BBWX3 are normal. I am not sharing the antenna for audio. Power cycling the whole system...
