Hey everyone, I took out my XM radio, because it doesn't work this far up north, so I bought the SirGM1 module, It was quick to install but I'm waiting for the adapter plug so I can use the factory XM antenna. Thanks GXP25 for showing me this

Link to the same Idea of the install.....our cars has the single antenna plug.

Does Sirius have a stronger signal than XM or something?

Yeah, northern Canada it cuts out alot.
This gives you an idea about XM vs Sirius.

So if I were to switch to sirius then my radio would cut out/ lose signal much less than it does now with my XM? I had no idea that XM's satellites were stationary.

No problem. Glad it worked out for you!

And yes, based on your GIF, XM would be horrible for you without any efficient repeaters. I have reception problems here and there when facing South and West (especially with the blasted sunroof open).

They're geostationary, meaning that they rotate around the Earth at the same speed that the Earth rotates about its own axis. Therefore, it only appears that they are at a fixed position from the ground.

If they were stationary, they'd fall, lol.

Most annoying thing about XM - so you are saying if I switch to Sirius that fade out will not happen? I'd swap it out next week to get rid of that.
