just got the xm radio for my pioneer hu. i love the sound of xm radio. its like listening to a cd. well almost. lol.
anyways i haven't paid for subscription yet. i will do that today. you still get a few channels to try out. so i was able to listen to some music on my way to work today.
one problem though. whenver i drive under a bridge, the signal gets lost for a second or two and comes back on. if i pay for the subscription, will the signal get stronger?
thanks in advance

P.S. is there such thing as a signal booster for xm radio?
I know they make some external antennas for that. I'm pretty sure the signal won't get stronger just cause you pay for the subscription. If you don't have one of those magnetic antennas that you stick on top of the car you can try that. My hu has a built in reciever it works fine, but then again we don't have very many bridges around here.
yeah i got the external antenna that i put on the roof of my car.
i didn't thinks so about paying for subscription and it makes the signal stronger. lol. worth a shot.
its frustrating cause when i first bought my car, the stock hu had the xm and it never lost a signal on me. my car even sat underneath a bridge waiting for a red light and it still worked.
Was the stock hu just using an internal antenna or did it have some kinda external one? If it was external did you try hooking that up to your current hu. Maybe the maker of the car had some tricks to get better reception.
