sirius users (XM too)
Has anyone ever had a problem with there system picking up static and enging noise. My sirius sounds like ***, I get static on a full signial and have put the antenna all over the place. I'm also picking up some engine noise, I can here a pop that goes with the idle of the motor and will increase if I rev up the motor. Any advice. I'm thinking...actually I want to just put in a new deck with the sirius already on it, hopefully that will work. Seems I have a bad ground or somthing but WHERE!!! Thanks for any help...

My XM unit is mounted to the right side of the factory radio/ ac controls. It is wired in direct and doesn't use the cassette adapter. The antenna is located on the roof bar just to the rear of the t-top divider bar. It works perfectly and has absolutely no static. The picture isn't the best but you can see the mounting location.
