Satellite radio problems, & AM radio problems

[still-one]

I posted in another thread that I ended up turning HD Radio off as the system would lock up or give off high bursts of static. No problems since I stopped using HD radio.

i fixed the problem by not using sat radio anymore. I agree it is the WORST sat radio system of any car i have ever encountered. I am sure the issue has to do with their antenna. Truly a POS!!!

Maybe the Mods can merge these two threads as I feel this is an important issue.

The SAT reception has become somewhat of a joke in my family. When it goes out, we look up and see only blue sky and comment that a butterfly must have flown over the truck.

Well, my dealer is ordering a new unit because I complained about reception. He said that this is a known problem and this new unit is supposed to improve this. I'll post my comments once I get it installed. The part is supposed to come in next week.

While I've experienced the same crappy reception with my satellite radio as everyone else has, today was my first recordable glitch.

I plugged in my iPhone which I have done many times before and while the display reported that is was connected it did not play.

No selection worked. On top of that the satellite radio also failed. Selecting satellite worked only for the last channel selected and the display read "no signal" FM and AM was fine but the display was dimmed.

Disconnecting the iPhone resolved the issue. Reconnecting brought the issue back.

I hard booted the iPhone and reconnected and that solved the issue entirely.

I don't know what to make of this but I am surprised that an iPhone would have this effect.

Thanks,

Marty

In the rural midweat, no SAT radio problems at all, except for rare interstate overpasses
Not enough good stattions to listen to, going to discontinue my service and use my droid phone instead

It's hard to argue with that and pretty sad when running Pandora off an iPhone proves to be substantially more reliable.

Thanks,
