2012 M37S.... Just started with very poor reception on XM Stations. In and out and none at all. Previous cars had no signal strength problems in same geographic locations. Anyone know of radio or antennae issues? Thanks. :wtf2:

I have had drop-offs as well, but very rare and only for about 3 seconds. I'm wondering if there may be a loose connection at the shark fin or perhaps at the XM unit in the trunk. If you call XM, whilst in your car, they may be able to trouble shoot or possibly test your levels to see if it's them or your car.

That is what I am thinking as well. Another issue on the check list for the Dealer. Thanks LARZ.

OK, Dealer installed new antennae, vast improvement so far.... Interesting note, my private mechanic owns an M-37. (Found out yesterday, great news) . I mentioned to him the poor XM reception. He said he was having same problem. I told him about the new antennae. He was pleased as he had cancelled his XM subscription. Always good to help out the home team.

I did some checking and here is another possibility. We are experiencing a high level of abnormal solar flares. W/o a doubt, this can affect the satellite signal.
