Default Radio Reception
This just started happening the other day . My radio stations have started coming in pretty shitty as I travel further from my home. But they were coming in clear up until two days ago. Any ideas on what this annoying problem may be? I have the 6 disc GXP radio.

Check the headliner near your rear window and make sure it's secure. Press on those two plastic circles. I'm pretty sure there's something up there that attaches to the antenna and can come loose. Some window tinters loosen the headliner and forget to re-attach the back part.

It's up in the headliner. Just push up on the headliner where those 2 round plastic pieces are and towards the back where it meets the window. If it's disconnected you'll hear a pop.

These cars have FM radios, where is it located, next to the tape deck???



Seriously, that's the reason why I've had XM since it came out. I drive 30K a year, no more fading unless I go under a big bridge w/o a repeater in it.

Worth the $12 to me.

My car went in for warranty for the same reason and they replaced a couple of parts that failed. I'll find the receipt and let you know which parts...
