Sirius - horrible reception in my M35

[mikeyg00]

My Acura TL had XM. I had a few 'dead spots' now and again, where i'd lose reception.

In my M35, I lose reception ALOT. It always seems to be location specific ... and we're taking no mountains or other line of sight issues? Just disappears in flat terrain....

Why? Trying to figure out if Sirius has issues, or it's my car....

We have a similar issue with Sirius in our truck. There are a few spots where it'll die out each and every time -- for example, when on a high ramp going from one freeway to another. I believe we've also had issues with it when driving by certain locations with uncommon electronic stuff going on (traffic speed sensors on the freeways, etc.). I could be mistaken about the last one; I try not to drive the truck unless I'm forced to!

ETA -- I was only talking about the issues we had where line-of-sight was not a concern. The ramp in question has nothing overhead, no tall buildings nearby, certainly no mountains or even slight hills here!
