FlyingMonkey Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 Hey all... I have a 496 with XM weather turned on, but not XM music. When I switch my audio to the 496 output, I hear the XM preview channel continuously. How do I disable this? I want to get the GPS terrain and obstacle warnings, but I don't want continuous XM advertising through my headset between alerts though...

Roger Lee Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 Go into the menu and disable music or XM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FastEddieB Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 Just scroll through the main screens until you get to the XMRadio page (assuming you have that page turned on), Hit "MENU". Last option in the list is "DISABLE AUDIO OUTPUT", or something similar. I think that then shows an icon with a musical note with a line through it and mutes the XMRadio output until you reverse the procedure. Let me know when you're home and are free. I have some fuel in the Sky Arrow I need to burn off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Cesnalis Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 One of the options on the XM audio page is to: Mute/Enable audio output. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FastEddieB Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 One of the options on the XM audio page is to: Mute/Enable audio output. Yep - that's the one I referred to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingMonkey Posted August 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 Ah, I have the GPS here at the house, and you can't see the XM page with no antenna connected. I will have to put it back in the airplane to fiddle with that setting. Thanks guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FastEddieB Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 Andy, To my recollection, you still have the XMRadio page with a disconnected antenna, or even expired service. I think you may need to "activate" that page elsewhere. Hit "Menu" twice to get to the main menus, and look for a setup page for the XM. Pretty sure its there somewhere. Do you have the manual handy? If not, available online from Garmin as a .pdf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingMonkey Posted August 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 The page exists, but just says "no XM antenna", Eddie. Nothing selectable until you connect an antenna and get a signal. It's dumb, but that's how it works. I looked in the manual, it's oddly silent on a lot of the XM stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
