XM Radio - "SOUND" grated out

My 2009 sl550 XM Radio is grayed out. It's stuck on Channel 184. Sirius could not reset. Any ideas?

I would disconnect the battery and see if that resets the radio. Having said that Mercedes appears to have some peculiarities with different models so wait until someone else who is more experienced to give the go ahead....

You have a R230 model. I suggest to post there for more feedback as the Comand system is very different.

Good luck!
