Sirius Satellite Radio Reception Factors and Troubleshooting
Potential reception issues
For optimal reception performance, keep the
antenna clear of snow and ice build-up and keep
luggage and other materials as far away from the
antenna as possible.
Antenna obstructions
Hills, mountains, tall buildings, bridges, tunnels,
freeway overpasses, parking garages, dense tree
foliage and thunderstorms can interfere with your
reception.
Terrain
When you pass a ground-based broadcast-
repeating tower, a stronger signal may overtake a
weaker one and the audio system may mute.
Station overload
Your display may show ACQUIRING... to indicate
the interference and the audio system may mute.

reroute you to avoid traffic
incidents that develop and impact
the current route. The system does

provide a traffic alert notification
for traffic incidents along the
planned route. You have a choice
to accept or ignore the notification
before making the route deviation.
