Sirius/XM cutting out issues

[MisterMarco]

I currently own 5 Fords with Sirius subscriptions. My 2023 Badlands Sirius loses reception several times per mile in very clear areas....very annoying as I know it should not do that. My other 4 Fords barely ever lose reception...maybe only under a bridge or heavy cover, but rarely. Is anyone else having issues like this? If so, is there a fix for it?

Mine used to be great then (probably coincidentally) started cutting out with frequency after an update 6 months ago or so. The only thing you could likely do to make it much better is relocate the antenna from underneath your top to something more exterior

So it's not just me. I just realized the antenna is inside the cabin, not on the outside. That seems odd. Thanks for the reply and suggestion.

Having the same issue with my OBX with MIC. No issues with my other vehicles. I have had it less than a week and this is my biggest complaint so far.

I have the same issue and yes...pretty annoying.

With my trailrax and the fact I will never remove my hard top I used this kit. Had to modify the mount plate to bolt to my rack but no more issues. 40 bucks and about an hour.

The good news is this is my only complaint. I never thought I would be this crazy about my Bad SAQ 2dr.

Are you using Waze in conjunction? Do you have speed alerts on if you are? The radio mutes for a short time when ever you go over the speed limit.

I will amend my statement from biggest to only also.

Nope, I do not use Waze. And it's happening with or without android auto usage. This doesn't happen in my wife's 22 BB Bronco Sport.

Another forum thread suggests signal dead spots, even in cities, but I refer back to it doesn't happen in my wife's BS or in what was my, but is now my daughter's, Malibu.

Mine cuts out when I am under thick trees, or get between tall buildings close to the road.

It started doing it on my 22Sport this week but I figured out it was Waze. Once I shut off the speeding alert on Waze, the problem went away.

Hope you figure it out. I know it annoyed the hell out of me.
