The XM satellites are in orbit over
the equator; therefore, objects south
of the vehicle may cause satellite
reception interruptions. To help
compensate f or this, ground-based
repeaters are placed in major
metropolitan areas. Satellite signals are more likely to be
blocked by tall buildings and
mountains the f arther north you
travel f rom the equator. Carrying
large items on a roof rack can also
block the signal.
The selected channel
number does not exist, or is not part
of your subscription, or this channel
has no artist or title inf ormation at
this time.
There is a problem
with the XM antenna. Please consult
your dealer.
