I can't hear anything but can see the information. At that point, only the preview channel plans and it's in and out staticy. I think I have video of it. I'll put it up sometime soon.

It then won't come back on until later in the day after I've stopped the car. It's the weirdest thing. First couple times I called XM and they would resend the signal but then I realized it would come back on its own anyways so I no longer called them. I complained about it and took it to the dealer and on 11/25/2009 they replaced the "XM Tuner assy" (that's what it says ont he write up. My car was at 16,998 miles then. But it's happened a few times since then so that's not the problem. It doesnt' bother me too much because I haev my iPod and CD changer so I can just switch to something else.
