Skipping Satellite Radio Source Issue.

I have had my KDC-x492 radio for several years. A couple of days ago the radio stop showing that there is a Satellite Radio Input source when switching from the various audio sources, tuner, standby, Ipod, etc... I am paying for SiriusXM Radio so i know that its not a "you don't have a subscription to Satellite radio provider" issue. I've tried resetting the radio already and it still skips the XM Display function. Do i need to have the radio looked at or is it something that can be fixed pretty easily by myself?
