XM loses signal every now and then?

Anyone whose XM sometimes loses signal and goes into "LOADING" mode every now and then? I have to turn the car off to gain signal back, turning off the radio only doesn't work.

Is this a BOSE problem? or XM's?

I use XM in my g35, but I don't use the BOSE. I lose signal when going into garages and some other places, but as soon as the signal gets strong it immediatly begins working again without having me do anything. I don't think your having an XM problem.

The problem you are describing is common and reflects a defect in the Clarion XM tuner unit. It has been reported that dealers are now carrying a replacment unit, available under warranty. Do a search and you'll find lots more info on this known problem.

It is a common problem with satellite and cell phones. I dont have to shut if off. It goes back on in a few seconds.

thanks noremac. i did a search and there was a known problem with the Clarion XM Tuner, apparently a firmware of software update needed.

godofcpu n blitzjb, of course i know how satellite signals work and it isn't that that im talkin about.
