FritzSTr Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Is anyone experiencing reception issues with their Sirius radio? I find my Sirius radio reception is "skipping or jumps" by a fraction of a second. It appears to happen on all channels I listen to and it happens randomly at anytime of the day. In the course of an hour it can occur somewhere between 2 to +10 times. The general quality of sound is OK except for this issue. I've tried not connecting my phone to see if that was interfering but it makes no difference. I have had other vehicles with Sirius and this has never occurred. All other entertainment functions work properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igcitng Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 I gave mine up but when I was using it I found that a lot of things interfere with the signal. Pulling into the garage, driving thru trees, tall buildings, the ozone being too thick that day and birds overhead (just kidding). Very tempermental in my opinion. I bought an ipod and spend the money downloading music instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have found mine to be a bit spotty too, but I also had a Sirius radio in my previous car, that was aftermarket, with an aftermarket antenna, and it did the same thing. This leads me to believe it isn't the car, but Sirius. Quite honestly I do not notice it that much to have it annoy me...the wind noise from the mirrors however, now that is annoying.

I got the very first XM radio and had it installed in my vehicle and used it inside and had reception issues at times. I think it is just how it is with satellite radio.

mellodrone Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 I lose my signal when I go under an overpass, or pull into a parking garage, but otherwise listening to Sirius is a joy. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feirstein Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 I too have noticed a rare but occasional blip in reception, even when I am not going under an overpass. I have a 2007 model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FritzSTr Posted March 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 OK, I guess I'll ask the dealer to check the Sirius radio at it's 1st service. Thanks everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilsons66604 Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 Subscription to my Sirius radio didn't get renewed this month. No need for the overpriced, ad ladened radio now that I have Bluetooth audio source in my pocket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
