Potential Satellite Radio Reception Issues | |
---|---|
Antenna obstructions | For optimal reception performance, keep the antenna clear of snow and ice build-up and keep luggage and other material as far away from the antenna as possible. Factory-installed and aftermarket vehicle structures including, but not limited to, roof racks and soft top roofs in a partially open position could reduce reception performance. |
Terrain | Hills, mountains, tall buildings, bridges, tunnels, freeway overpasses, parking garages, dense tree foliage and thunderstorms can interfere with your reception. |
Station overload | When you pass a ground-based broadcast-repeating tower, a stronger signal could overtake a weaker one and the audio system may mute. |
Satellite radio signal interference | Your display may show ACQUIRING . . . to indicate the interference and the audio system could mute. |
