'08 and '09 owners with satellite radio
#17
I had this problem with sirius. It was bad...clear day, freeway, no bridge or building in sight, would cut out for a few seconds, sometimes 15 or more which seems like an eternity...did it in town, did it away from town, did it anywhere. Also had some reverb clipping type thing happening every so often, like a partial signal would come thru...couldn't believe how bad it was.
Dealer 1 - similing ditz chick service advisor...no problem found, and then proceeded to tell me about how I should have the tires rotated next time. Um, ok. thanks. bye.
Dealer #2 - yes, def. cut out, we hear it...the antennae was way up by the rear view mirror in the windshield...a hockey puck looking thing, not the shark fin out back. I was like wth???...anyway, the windshield tint, which looked to be normal top edge of windshield window tint with a pattern cut in it, is there, and they thought that might be interfering with the signal.... so they moved it to the passenger corner of the windshield and down a bit...better, but still cut out.
I gave up and cancelled sirius...tired of the price increases anyway. But I could not believe the chitty setup from Lexus, of all brands. I thought all satellite antennae were in the sharkfin but what do I know.
