The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.

Condition/Concern:
Some customers may comment that intermittently, the radio will momentarily mute and display XM station zero while listening to an XM station. This condition only occurs after installation of a GM Accessories Personal Audio Link (PAL) system.

Recommendation/Instructions:
A new PAL module has been developed to correct this condition. Updated PAL modules are only available as part of the PAL kit. A new PAL kit should be ordered to obtain the updated module.

Note: If the vehicle is equipped with XM Radio, XM will need to be enabled again using the Tech 2.
