The last two weeks my reception in my car kit setup for my Sirius Sportster (mounted in my Jeep) has gone from great to spotty to nothing. I tried unplugging the antenna wire where it plugs into the back and replugging it back in, plus I checked the length of the wire for any cuts or anything. But no luck. It's gotta be something with the car mount too, because I still get perfect reception in the house.

Thoughts? Is there an upgraded antenna setup I can buy? I really miss it and hate having to listen to regular radio again.

Does anyone have the antenna just mounted on the dash with velcro or tape? I think the elements and weather caused the antenna to take a crap and I'd like to figure out how to mount it inside to protect it and keep this from happening again.

Nobody has a Sirius Sportster receiver and has encountered this? Did anyone mount their antenna inside on the dash or back hatch?

I had a bad antenna on my Blaupunkt america unit in my expedition .. but never had a problem with my sportster, which is in my TA ..

I have my antenna velcroed to the top of my rear view mirror in the TA, and have never had a problem with reception. I used to have it on the dash, but I sometimes had issues with reception when the wipers were on.

Gipraw - velcro'd to the rearview? Hmm. Have you compared the reception to having it mounted inside vs mounted outside the car, like on the roof? I'm just curious because I plan on mounting my new antenna inside my Jeep.

I haven't had any reception issues .. actually works better than it did on the dash. I will try and take a pic when I get home this evening, if you want ..
