I have had my 05 QX in the dealer 6 times now , the satellite radio that they added ( same as factory system) keeps cutting out (says aquiring signal) they said that they changed the Sirius main unit twice and the antenna twice. My antenna is mounted to the right of my rear view mirror on the inside of the glass, should I have them put it outside. on a 2 hour drive from sandiego my sat will cut out up to 7 times excluding the normal cutting out under overpasses.sometimes it even just goes out while I am parked listing to it. any advice would be appreciated.

I've got the same system with the same antenna in the same location. I've got an '05 Armada, that's the only difference. I've had no problems with reception. Although mine was a factory option, not installed after delivery. They did however have to replace the receiver unit once, but I had no reception at all. It really sounds like an antenna issue. Make the pay for an outside mount antenna and see if that works. I was going to have my dealer do this if it wasn't the unit.
