How can I improve my reception for my Sirius Satellite Radio?
November 30th, 2009 | by admin |I Just recieved a Sirius Satellite Radio for Christmas. I tried putting it in my 1990 Eclipse. i followed all the instructions and have the antenna mounted on the back rear window glass.
However the reception is so bad i can’t even get through a song. Help!
If the antenna cable is damaged anywhere, this will cause the problem you speak of.
Oh, and never push anything through the rubber molding of a window.

I have no problem with my Sirius, try getting a new antenna or just making sure the antenna is attached correctly.

This Q: was answered already and the answer still is mount it in the front window with a Little clear silicon or push the antenna cable under the rubber molding (try not to rip it as it will leek)or just through the antenna cable on the front dash and tape it down with black tape.. your fantasy will help you with the rest…..

Well, it could be a couple of problems, of which the previous comments have answered. By the way I have used the clear silicone to seal the antenna wire to the base and it works great as silicone is a semi-conductor (computer chips).
However, there could be another issue at hand. Is your radio connected to the satellite unit, or do you use the FM modulator? If you use the FM modulator you will get interference from other radio stations along with other electrical interference. If you haven’t connected your sirius straight to the radio, I recommend it as it gives a crisper reception along with no interference from radio stations. The only way to hook this up is to have an auxiliary port on your radio. Hope this helps.
