Default SIRIUS XM Signal drops?

This question not really mechanical but just wondering.


Has anybody else noticed that Sirius XM signal has been doping out more often in the last 6 months?? This past month has really been bad in my area of travel mostly random. not the same place each time. even when standing still. Just wondering?

My drive to work takes me to a rather fringe area for Sirius reception. My Stang will drop-out more than my SUV but I haven't noticed any changes in signal strength on either in the 1 1/2 years I've been making the ride.

try going on line the the sirius site and go through the siginal refresh procedure that worked for me. Has not droped out since. It is important that you allow the radio to update with out touching the stations till its' done.
