Why Do I Need A Special Antenna For Satellite Radio?
One thing many of our customers want to know is why then need a special antenna to receive satellite radio signals in their car. After all, modern cars already come with radio antennas, so why install a second one?”[U]nlike FM radio and HD radio, satellite radio and FM radio aren't broadcast on the same frequency bands. This is why you don't need a special HD radio antenna, but you do need a special satellite radio antenna,” explains Jeremy Laukkonen for Lifewire.com.
Where’s The Best Place To Install My Sirius Antenna?
The best place to install a Sirius XM antenna will depend on whether you’re placing it in a home or vehicle, and what type of vehicle it is. When installing a satellite radio antenna in a vehicle, the best location is the roof, just above the back window or windshield. Make sure it’s at least 3 inches from any other antenna.
Why Does My XM Radio Receiver Say ‘Antenna Disconnected’ Or ‘Antenna Not Detected’?
You worked hard to install your XM radio antenna properly, so why is your receiver display telling you the antenna is disconnected or not there at all? In most cases, all it takes to eliminate this error message is to reset your receiver by turning it on then off. If that doesn’t work, check to make sure the connection between receiver and antenna hasn’t been accidentally loosened. If problems persist, you may want to have the system looked at by a car audio professional.
