Before I get started, all radio components are stock.

Does anyone know if the bluetooth module is inside the module of the satellite radio one? When I select the phone button on the radio I get a "No Phone" message on the display. I know that my phone is no longer paired with the radio. The issue is the radio doesn't seem to be transmitting any bluetooth signal for my phone to receive and pair.

Also prior to the BT issue (several months prior), the Sat Radio kicked off the standard error code, "sat fault" which I've come to understand is mostly the module gone bad, however sometimes randomly will acquire the Sirius/XM signal and show channels as if it's connected and working but there is no sound. Still have sound from the radio via AM or FM stations but no Sirius. From looking at some wiring diagrams and searching it seems there might be a module that the output runs through that controls sound?
