stances that may result in signal loss
include driving near a wall, steep cliff or
hill, or driving on the lower level of a multi-
tiered road or inside a parking garage.
To help reduce this condition, satellite
radio providers have installed ground-
based repeaters in heavily populated
areas. However, you may still experience
reception problems in some areas. ! Displaying satellite radio ID of tuner
When you activate satellite radio, you
should have your satellite radio tuner ID ready because each tuner is identified by
