Strange random time on screen

[b1miller]

So while streaming SiriusXM from my Iphone using Bluetooth I get this random time showing on my screen. It does not show up when I use my usb cable.
Any ideas? It does not match the current time shown on my screen.

b1miller, I have noticed that also. I assumed it wasn't a time as much as the length of the show you're lstening to on SiriusXM, and where you are in that show.

XM can be played at the current time, almost like live, or may be started at the beginning of the current song that would be playing on the show, or backed up to the beginning or any other point in the show.

From your example I would guess you're almost live, as in the show is 4hrs 59 minutes and 34 seconds long, and you're listening to what would be played at 4hrs 59 minuts and 23 seconds into the show. Or, almost at the end.

That's been my assumption, at least. Hopefully someone with more knowledge will chime in.

Is that the time that the song is playing? Like total length of the song? Try another song and see if it changes? Good Luck

It's not related to the length of the song. I have noticed that it seems to be a similar time over different days or songs. What is so strange that the screen does not show that when I use the USB cable for CarPlay.

I can’t fathom how this would be a time of day indicator since it shows two sets of numbers. I wonder if Sirius tech would have an explanation.

I took a look at my SiriusXM. Not the app, but thru factory Sync 3. If I select the replay button (U-turn arrow) the timeline appears. When first selecting, the bright blue line is short on each end but begins slowly moving towards the middle from both ends. If I hit the back arrow the circle jumps backwards and the previous song is played(-3:33 second pic). As time went on, I could go back further back than -3.33.

To me, it appears to be buffering what is being played and downloading what was already played so you can select whatever is within that range that has been buffered or saved. The longer you listen the more is saved.

That's about as much sense I could make out of it.

To make it even weirder today while out driving it just showed a single time that did not match the clock at all. Strange. I will have to give Sirius XM tech support a call.
