which sirius unit? where is your antenna?
Sirius will drop the signal when going under bridges, etc. especially older generation receivers. However, it should restart when the antenna has a clear view of the ski.
Regarding the mode switching to FM, that should have nothing to do with the sirius unit dropping the signal. for instance, when i switch to AUX, I can turn on and off my sirius unit (getting a thump) but even if there is dead space in the circuit, it won't switch out until I hit the mode button. I can turn the sirius back on, and it works fine. I don't know if this is a function of the business radio as I have the Nav setup (DSP)...
Who installed the aux unit and sirius radio? where is the sirius radio drawing its power from? have you tried powering down and repowering the sirius radio when you lose the signal before it switches to FM to see what happens?

I have tried everything to get the Sirius to work. Once it drops out, there is no way to get the Sirius to come back on the AUX. The Sirius unit is drawing power from the cig lighter. I installed the AUX jack, it works great with everything else I have. I have had the Sirius unit in another car with an AUX jack and didn't have any problems. So, I am pretty baffled as to why it does it. I agree with you comment on why it switches to FM, when I power off my iPod it still stays in AUX mode till I switch it. I thought of buying another Sirius tuner to see if it does it with that.
When I say BMW unit, I mean the BMW AUX jack from my dealer.
