Are all Sirius XM signals crystal clear? Or are they mixed depending on station chosen? I have 2016 CVO Road Glide that seems to be excellent on some but not others. I doubt it's the fairing or antenna location Stock head unit and amp. Suggestions please. Thank You in advance.

 

All sirius stations come in the same.Its all about satellite position and your location to it.If you antenna is in the fairing,Its going to cut in and out.Moved mine outside the fairing on top of the inner fairing where it meets the outer fairing.Works much better there.Even there it will cut in and out if your in trees.satellite radio needs open air sky to work proper.

 

I've read the new antenna is a big improvement over the older one.

Just wanted to drop a lesson learned today. I installed the Sirius XM Module into my 2014 Ultra Limited. Called Sirius 3 times and they kept telling me the module was not able to get traffic and weather, main reason I wanted it. Called Harley and they said call Sirius back @ 1-800-985-9200. This worked. It appears Harley is not giving Sirius the right information regarding the module, shows up to Sirius as generic. After about 3 hours between Sirius and Harley everything now works. The big catch is you have to call 1-800-985-9200 to get the support at Sirius that can fix the oversight of HD.

 

Also, a few SiriusXM stations have relatively low compression rates (think Howard Stern), but the vast majority have such high compression rates that they sound like they are underwater. This could be mistaken to be a "poor signal" when it's not.

 

i have a garmin 665 which has a xm radio with it and a puck antenna. i was having problems receiving or a weak signal. what i found out was that the blue tooth capability of the GPS interfered with the signal frim XM. turned off the blue tooth and chrystal clear signal. not saying that is the problem, but if you have blue tooth, try turning it off and taking a ride. good luck.
