XM radio
I'm having reception problems with my XM radio. I have it wired up right, and its not the area because my other cars have XM and it works wonderfully. Is it possible the problem could be electrical or i might have a bad antenna? I have alot of stuff in my car, and the antenna wire does run near small power wires.
the car is a 96 accord lx. i was also thinking maybe its the placement of the antenna because its right above the normal radio one (its in the rear windshield)

Re: (B18C_EJ8)
no it will have 3 bars but it will randomly cut out. I know theres like a second or two delay but it will do it when it seems like it shouldn't be. such as on the highway or something. I just bought it. I think im going to try to move it away from the rear windshield.

swap the antenna for one that you believe works well. see if that makes a difference.
It's my limited experience that the newer the antenna, the more it sucks. it is not my opinion but a matter of physics, that says that a smaller antenna is not as good as a nlarger antenna. if you have a newer, smaller antenna, and are comparing it to an older larger antenna. the new small one wil lose every time.
oh yeah, you can use the older 2 plug antenna with the newer one plug pink antennas as well.
