The presets work the same as for any of the other bands. Just use set 1 or 2 depending on whether you want to set 1-6 or 7-12. You just replace the presets rather than deleting them first.

 

Noticed the same thing here. All the Satellite programs are quieter than CDs and the FM and AM channels.

Another thing is that although the Sat programs are very clear, there is definitely less bass response when compared to the regular radio and CDs. For a while there, I was thinking that the subwoofer didn't work for crap but now I'm leaning more toward it actually being the Sat programs. That's all I was listening to for a while since it was something new to me. Switched to FM or a CD and had a much stronger bass sound.

 

Oh man you got owned, LOL!!!! Hell I edit my posts sometimes 3 times because for some reason I can only see typos after I look at something 3 times or I am a complete idiot. I would say I am an idiot.

 

You know what really sounds nice is the HD radio channels, I am surprised they don't offer that instead of sat....it's free, I have amfm, sat, hd amfm cd,dvd, bluetooth in my 72 chevy when is dodge gonna catch up?

 

Do any of the manf offer an HD radio in their vehicles from the factory?

And don't feel bad about the edits, we all do that to some extent and still make mistakes.

 

Same issue. But mine also cuts out intermittently throughout my driving as well. At first I thought maybe it was the signal, maybe a large tree or overhang was stopping the it....but it also happens on the highway with nothing blocking the path....don't know what the problem is.

I have the normal radio btw lol.

 

I think BMW does? I know some of the higher end manufacturers do.

 

Re: the "cutout" of the signal

Having been a Sirius user for over 3 years now, I can tell you that for all it's advancements, satellite radio is still a very "line of sight" system. Anything impeding your antenna's line of sight to the satellite signal will make it cut out, and sometimes all it really takes is heavy cloud cover.

Like you guys, I notice that if I leave my radio in satellite when I shut it down, I'll get that second or so cutout when I turn it back on later. I think there may be somewhat of a "streaming" memory issue involved, but overall it really doesn't bother me. To me, it's all about the programming, and Sirius continues to have a solid lineup. I haven't really checked into any of the programming that came in from the XM merger yet, though.

 

With the new truck, we are supposed to get 1 year free service. I'm surprised that they haven't sent any info to me yet (not that I'm complaining). Had to go online to download a programming list for example. Just surprised as my dad got a new chevy and XM has bombarded them with mail and phone calls trying to get them to up their subscription. I'm glad to see that hasn't happend to me so far but just curious as to why not even so much as a "here's what we offer, try it out" letter or something along those lines. I can see the service as being very nice for those that travel a lot. But personally, will probably just put the money I would spend on a subscription toward an IPod. (Yes I'm behind the times on that)

 

Similar thing here except mine cuts out within the first 10-15 seconds for a second or two after turning the radio on. After that it never cuts out.

My wife has a 2009 Ford Edge and it does not cut out on her vehicle.
