Reason for change
Complaint:
Intermittently no audio output, regardless of the selected audio source. When the "Sirius" satellite radio is selected, the message "Device

Software release 11/07 00 of Sirius satellite radio control unit with a HW number of A171 870 XX XX.
Remedy:
Software update of "Sirius" satellite radio to the software release 08/49 00.

under the Adaptations tab.
