Hi everyone,
I went from an '05 tC to an '06 xB. I kept the same aftermarket headunit, XM receiver, and XM antenna and I've noticed far worse reception with the xB than I did with the tC. Does anyone have any success stories on where to put the antenna?
On the tC it was right behind the FM antenna on the back of the car. I used the factory install instructions to aid in my decision on where to put the antenna. I used the xB instructions to mount the antenna about 8" from the back of the car, on the roof on the passenger side.
I've noticed that even mild rain tends to kill my signal whereas in the tC nothing really phased it at all, unless I was driving right next to a large semi which caused the signal to be blocked.
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
