I know XM and Sirius are two totally different technologies (XM uses Geo-stationary satellites, Sirius use Pole-to-Pole Figure 8 orbits with 3 birds which gives better "look" angles), but my overall impression of the XM system in my CT200h is not good.

I've noticed that on roads with a medium amount of tree overhang, it totally looses lock compared to my previous car and my wife's car which has Sirius, and I've even experienced it loosing lock and going to static noise on an Interstate with no obstructions at all... Is it my radio or is it an XM problem? Are others seeing XM issues related to keeping signal lock (i've seen the volume level discussions).

Where's the XM Antenna? Is it in the boot of the FM radio mast?

Cheers

Well Guys, Thanks... I feel vindicated that it's not just me. I think, like others, I'll wait for aftermarket harnesses to become available and might do a head swap, and swap back to Sirius in the process...
