Yeah, it’s strange. Inside Pittsburgh from tunnel to tunnel reception is great. Past the tunnels it gets spotty in places, but even my regular radio reception is the same (antenna broke off in a car wash last year and I never feel like fixing something that stupid). Maybe it’s just me, but it seems to be getting better lately. I went with the life time deal, $500 and you can transfer to another radio for $75 - which is kind of a rip, so I don’t know if I would recommend going that way.

I do have a strange problem though, sometimes my disc changer is only playing on mono, not stereo. If I reset the head unit it works fine in stero again. Any ideas? It’s not been a huge deal since between Sirius and mp3’s I don’t listen to the changer that much.

dumb question, but you aim it by aiming the top flat towards the location? i started losing signal a littlebit ago and it came on when i was moving it around… and it’s like sitting sideways and not quite aimed right, but it’s working soo i’m not touching it… and at this i’m even getting some slight terrestrial signal which i didnt expect odd…
