XM Reception Issues
I've had SXM in several vehicles & rarely had any reception issues unless it was snowing or there were lots of solar flares occurring. The RX only comes with XM & SXM is not available. I'm noticing my Channel 26 Classic Vinyl keeps loosing reception. Since we have just XM, & not SXM, there isn't much I'm excited about listening to. I'm also noticing my Bluetooth cuts out more than other vehicles I've owned. At first I thought it was my location, but it does it nearly anywhere. Anyone else notice this?
I've had two iPhone 7+ phones recently & they both have done the same thing when connected to the RX. My present phone does not cut out when I'm connected to my Bluetooth headset, so it has to be something with the RX. I've also deleted the RX from my phone & re-paired it up again & it didn't change anything.

I knew there were some iPhone issues, but the latest software (10.2) was supposed to fix any remaining Bluetooth issues. My main beef is with the XM reception. Anyone having issues with signal cutting out in wide open spaces?

While driving around other open areas, I have cutouts every now and then. Pretty annoying, not sure why would anyone pay for satellite radio that cuts out so much.

I also have reception problems with the XM radio cutting out. There are a couple of open areas in the highway were it always cuts out. These areas do not have bridges or any other tall buildings around it.
