The XM satellites are in orbit over
the equator; therefore, objects south
of the vehicle may cause satellite
reception interruptions. To help
compensate for this, ground-based
repeaters are placed in major
metropolitan areas. Satellite signals
are more likely to be blocked by tall
buildings and mountains the farther
north you travel from the equator.
Depending on where you drive, you
may experience reception problems.
Interference can be caused by any of
these conditions:
Driving on the north side of an
east/west mountain road.
Driving on the north side of a
large commercial truck on an
east/west road.
Driving in tunnels.
Driving on a single lane road
alongside dense trees taller than
50 ft. (15 m) to the south of you.
Driving on the lower level of a
multi-tiered road.
Driving on a road beside a vertical
wall, steep cliff, or hill to the south
of you.
When DPLII is turned on (see page
), sound coming from the rear
speakers may be distorted due
to the compression of the music
being broadcast. Turn DPLII off if
this happens.
