I just got a 2006 G6 Convertible, with the satellite radio. I am not getting as good of reception as my other cars do. The G6 has that stubby rubber antenna as well.
Is there a way to get better over the air reception? would another antenna help?

The Sirius/XM antenna is the one on the trunk. I guess check the connections or clean it off and see if that helps.

droptop, are you getting good reception with local over the air radio stations?

 

[Droptop Diamond]

Oh yeah, I guess there ARE local over the air stations, aren't there ? I pretty much listen to XM and occasionally CD's, and very rarely AM news stations for traffic. The AM is OK; I'll have to remember to check out the FM tomorrow.

I agree with Diamond. Satellite is the way to go.
I never thought the FM reception was that bad until I go back and listen to the FM stations now.
XM spoils us....but for a price. lol

I live in Southern California and we have some great local FM Channels. I just cannot see paying for radio when I can get it for free. Hell I just had to get rid of my rabbit ears!

My reasoning for paying for Sirius is no commercials, I can't stand 2/3 songs then 5 minutes of commercials. Plus there isn't one single fm station in the northeast that I like. BPM and Electric Area ftw.

Sorry forgot to check my FM reception until tonight . Tried a few different stations and all but one were static-y, so yeah the antenna isn't so great

thanks, that's what I thought but it is good to know for sure. I guess that I will be looking for a cure later. I would rather buy a CD every month than give the pirates $$ every month for access to their collection.
if I find a good solution I will let you know.
