Sat radio issues

Has anyone had problems with their satellite radio constantly "acquiring signal"? It is driving me nut and it's happening in wide open areas. What is the fix for this?

My wife and I have noticed that her 2016 does it in the same spots around town. This weekend I had the thought that it seems to do it within certain proximity to cell towers. Doesn't make sense since it's satellite radio.

You can also go through Sirius' customer service to send a refresh signal to the truck to see if it helps. A re-boot of sorts.

It seems like is really erratic. We will go for days without it doing it and then it will start doing it every couple minutes for hours. Doesnt matter where we are at. It just boggles my mind.

When I had a Sirius radio added to my new boat last year there was an intermittent reception issue, turned out to be the antenna or antenna connection to the radio. New antenna plugged in instantly fixed it. Good luck...
