I test drove a koup a couple weeks back. they let me borrow it for a day to see if it was for me. anyways, i was listening to the satellite radio when all of a sudden the signal cut out. then it would come back on again a second later. it was clear skies, just driving down normal streets and no bridges or tunnels of the sort. it happened probably 5-6 times over the course of the test. i never brought it up to the dealer but i know that if i bought the car then and there i would have questioned something like that. even though it only happened a handful of times, it was really annoying.
i've had that same clear sky cut out happen to me quite often here in tampa ........
if it keeps happening over the next 2 months-
(only one month of ownership) sirius is out the window.....that cut out reason and the extra chatty/stupid DJs i have to listen to during my morning/afternoon drives esp. that afternoon guy on the 80s or new wave station .....always mentioning the jobs that he has or has done...
seriously- i thought the reason of the "sat" radio was to cut out the comercials and the chit chat......ok- so no commercials- but still a bucket load of chit chat to themselves? WTF???
i am so leaning to loading up a thumb drive and rolling with that......
(so whats the largest thumb drive that has been proven to work with our lil beasties?)
