Default XM Weather reset?

A few weeks ago, we had a nor'easter here on Long Island, during which I received a warning message through the Nav system of "severe weather nearby" with the prompt to view it on screen.

Ever since, I receive the same message within minutes of starting the car.

Anyone else having this problem? It's starting to get annoying now. Is there some way to reset it?

This feature seems to be able to disable... I just cannot remember where exactly it is... somewhere in the option. Please check the owner manual.

I guess I'm getting old.

Maybe you can try this...

Setup -> Voice -> Weather Voice Guidance (OFF)

Are you near the end of your trial period? As I got into my final week before subscribe or lose it I got several 'severe' weather warnings. I think in my case it was programed to 'lure' me in. Now I have lifetime 'XM' and traffic. The weather didn't impress me enough.

I was experiencing that too last week. I'm thinking it may have picked up the flood watches in the area. It hasn't happened in the past day which coincided with the watches being dropped.

Most of the time the warnings have come up hours or days after bad weather so it's one feature I am not renewing.

Really? Turn it off? That's your advice?

I didn't recall how I turned that off. But I did remember my weather warning never showed up again after doing "something" in the Setup. Anyway, my XMWeather was over in July 2009, I cannot try it anymore.


Why not giving it a try? If not, why not checking your owner manual?

I was hoping that XM Weather included realtime radar. Sadly it doesn't.

Unfortunately, you need to call XM and have them reset it.
