hahaha...now that's funny! Why? because I've only been interfered with about 900 times...whenever I drive by someone using XM and my car radio is on a frequency not too far away from one that their wireless system uses! Just goes to show you that the FCC pays attention to the guys with the $$$$.

I've had XM for several years now and I really don't use it myself much but the log and chains do and it's only until about a month ago the wife told me about this happening in her car from the kids xm in the house and at first I thought she'd lost her marbles but sure as hell I did some troubleshooting and it turns out that we have two different models of thier recievers that do the exact thing the FCC claims it does.

So I've put in an order for the free beads man.

If you have an older sirius you'll be recieving an email to the same fact.

I suppose I should have said that if you're using an older sirius reciever that was produced by Delphi you will be recieving a notice of interference issues from sirius.

I've recieved the ferrite bead kits from xm radio and installed them and they work to a degree to stop interference, if the reciever is more that 6' away from the other reciever they do stop all interference.

I don't think that makes any difference, somehow it transmitts through it's antenna also.
