Alpine CDA-9857 Head Unit and Alpine KCA-SC100 Ai-Net Adapter - Sirius not working

[synapse88]

I'm using an Alpine CDA-9857 Head Unit, an Alpine KCA-SC100 Ai-Net Adapter and a Sirius SC-C1 tuner and I'm having the following problems:

1) When I turn on my car, and my head unit has any non-Sirius source selected, when i toggle through the sources Sirius does not appear as an option. If I turn off the head unit, and turn it back on, then Sirius appears as a source when I toggle through the sources and it works fine.

2) If I turn on my car with Sirius already selected as the source on my head unit (that was the last thing I was listening to when i turned my car off), I get the "LOADING" message and it never comes on until I turn my head unit off and on again.

This seems to be common problem and I haven't heard of a solution yet. Heres some more posts/info on this issue and about the KCA-SC100 in general.
