2007 Ram Sirius radio quality sucks
Does anyone else think their factory Sirius radio is distorted? Mine sounds a lot worse than FM or CDs. The problem is what I would call a phase shift. It sounds likeit's in a barrel. I had changed the factory radio froma single cd to factory changer and it sounds the same. Sirius never responded to a support email. The dealer sent a guy out to look at it. He went back to the lot and listened to other Rams and thought it sounded bad too. I gave up usingSirius after I bought the truck last fall. I have no idea why anyone would pay for this unless they were on the road in the middle of nowhere and had absolutely no other choice. I live in the Denver metroarea. Great satellite footprint. No TSBs that I can tell.

I can tell a difference between FM and SAT, sirius sounds much better in my truck. Granted it's not the best I've heard, but it's still better than the regular radio...
Sirius won't be able to help you, they do not make the unit. My only complaint is that it seems to cut out a lot more than my old radio in my last truck. Driving under a tree will make it skip, but that's due to the small buffer that our factory radios have....

Sat is not as good a quality as CD, that is a fact.
The factory stereo is pretty crappy.

sat radio is nice when I'm a new city, when I go to the coast where there's no radio signal, out in the sticks to go hunting

I replaced the factory radio in my 06 Ram. I added a Pioneer head unit, didn't change the speakers, or add an amp yet, and it sounds 100% better than the stock unit. I figured it would sound better than the stock unit, but it is unbelievable the difference it made.
Don;t mess with Crysler, just go buy a good head unit, and the good wiring harness. I had to pay $89.00 just for the harness, so it wouldn't cause any codes. You will also have to buy an antenna adapter, that was cheap though.
All in all it cost me $128.00 for the harness, the antenna adpater, and the faceplate. I already had the headunit, taken out of my previous truck.
