Default XM button question

I was driving home tonight and noticed that my XM button on the navigation screen was now the FM2 button. What happened to the XM button??

If you're lucky it turned into a Sirius button...

Drinkin and Drivin just don't mix

Boy, that's sure a new one on me. Wonder if a connection contact came loose for the XM wiring.

I've had that happen to me before as well. I had the NAV screen up and realized that I was listening to FM instead of my Sirius (I swapped out the XM unit with a GM-SIR1, took about 15 minutes). When I hit the source button, no XM buttons! Pulled over, turned the car off, restarted, had my XM buttons back. Very wierd and only happend once so far. I was worried it might be an issue with the Sirius, but since someone has reported this with an XM unit, I'm thinking this must be a bug in the head unit.

And today it happened again. I am starting to think something is wrong with the head unit.

Doesn't the memory return the radio to the last setting? Is that possibly the cause?

I saw that when I swapped to sirius once and after a restart it was there. Guess if removed it does not sense it and takes the button away just as if you added a mod for an aux input and now you will see aux. XM and Sirius are merging anyway so might as well stay with XM and they are cheaper at $77 a year after haggling.
