I have a 2005 and all of a sudden, starting today, the signal on XM is going in and out way too often. I can barely make it 1/10 of a mile without loss of sound and then it comes back after a second or so. It is going out when there is no obstruction. I was thinking that maybe the XM satellites are having technical problems, but Ironically when I am not moving I do not lose the signal so I think it is on my end.
The only thing I have done differently is I installed a USAspec IPOD connection, but I did that over 3 weeks ago and there was no issue until today.
The only other thing is I ran a RCA wire from the front of the car to the back cargo area. I did this by running the wire along the drivers side under the door jams (snapped them off at drivers door and passenger door). Now I did this yesterday so I was thinking that maybe the XM antenna wire goes along the same route and maybe I pinched a wire (but I can't believe that would be it). I just checked and everything looks fine.
Anyways, has anybody else experienced this problem?

I have not lost signal, but my radio all of a sudden has decided that it should go to channel one upon shutoff. Or maybe I should say it is on channel 1 when it turns on. This is an aftermarket radio.

Must say I'm glad to hear this is a XM signal issue. I've only had my MDX for about 4 weeks and have never had satellite radio before - I'm hooked! Until yesterday the signal was perfect - even in my garage and under bridges. Then suddenly it started fading in and out. I assumed the problem was on my end. I even looked over the top and rear to be sure I didn't get antenna damage in the car wash. Getting this news made my day.
Perhaps I should call in today to start my subscription - they might be more flexible giving me the $77 annual rate if they are loosing customers over this service disruption! |

Received an email from XMradio saying that it should be fix by Tuesday morning. |

| I seem to be having a similar problem it showed up after i found the the rear camera was unplugged, i plugged it back in and now my XM goes in and out and the regular radio is a little fuzzy. I have a 2005 X and its a touring package. |

Ryan- it has nothing to do with plugging in your rear camera. XM screwed up an update to one of their satellites, and everybody everywhere lost signal over the weekend. |

| I heard on the news the other morning that they had one of their sats go out of service. Maybe they moved a sat to give everyone a temp. fix until they can launch another one. |
