Re: Sirius Satellite Reception Problems
Only problem I have is under wide bridges, thick patches of trees, and tunnels. Mine is the OLD hardwired transmitter (sort of like a cd changer) and I havent had a single problem other than those listed...

Re: Sirius Satellite Reception Problems
I was having a problem all of the sudden also a few days ago. I had 0 reception, and I don't mean transmitter to radio, but sattelite reception to reciever. It started out searching then after about 15 minutes of driving, I got 1 bar, and then it would bounce up to two bars, but was still weaker than normal.

Re: Sirius Satellite Reception Problems
call sirius, most ppl use 88.1 but it drops signal alot. 104.7 works very well. But some set ups need to be tweeked for full bars, my girls car took a while to figure out, but once i did i never lose signal even in tunnels.

My F-150 has it stock, so I haven't had any problems with it. But in my GTO I used 87.9, never had a problem. 88.1 is something in the Norfolk area so I couldn't use it. Or try 107.5

Re: Sirius Satellite Reception Problems
That's the same thing I thought. Mine is out the back hatch of my expedition, so I thought I pinched the wire or something, but it's back up to 3 bars, so it must have been a sattelite problem, or sun spots or something.

Re: Sirius Satellite Reception Problems
mine was factory installed, antenna is on the back top of the car above the back windshield
its integrated into the radio not through FM
no issues
