Poor Reception Quality
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Installed on a white Lexus SC 430 hardtop convertible with a Panasonic aftermarket radio. Did not want black antennae installed on white car body, so opted for mounting on right top of dash next to windshield. As a result, have experienced a lot of breaks in reception, which greatly detracts from enjoyment of listening to XM Radio.

I would recommend this to a friendCustomer support is poor
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My unit won’t reset from new and not registered even though it is and allows me to tune all stations. Customer support answer is to resend the setup signal, numerous times. They don’t seem to want to listen to the user about the problem.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend- Pros mentioned:Performance
Poor function due to placement?
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Unable to mount this on the roof of the vehicle due to no rain channel. I was not told about this in advance. Instead it was mounted on the dashboard, it works well if the vehicle is pointed in certain directions, if not it doesn't work at all
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Horrible satellite receiver, NOT WORTH IT!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Just about any larger metal object disrupts signal, whereas a cell GPS satellite signal does NOT get disrupted - Bought this to keep from having to use my phone for music (Spotify, Pandora), but due to frequent signal losses with Sirius, I'm going back to the phone! Also, the 'Music Only' package, which is the cheapest per month, lists over 80 channels, but in reality there are only about 20 (For this package) - In my opinion, this was a complete waste of money, and I would not recommend this to anyone I know ...

Posted .Sorry you had this experience with the SiriusXM Connect tuner. It sounds like the antenna was not installed outside the vehicle on the roof or trunk lid (if convertible) as recommended. Unlike GPS (GPS signals also gets blocked by metal) which has 30 satellites located in various orbits making it easier to receive the signal from a variety of angles, there are only 3 SiriusXM satellites in a fixed orbit around the equator. Your antenna needs to have a clear view of the satellites to receive the signal. If you re-install the antenna on the roof, you will have great reception.
Still learning about item
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had this item installed to support my new car stereo.
I would recommend this to a friendGood tuner but can't redeem code
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After I installed the tuner I tried to redeem the 4 months free of siriusxm radio but the link in my email doesn't work. Read on forums that a lot of people have the same issue.
I would recommend this to a friendEasy connect
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Unit work well, easy install. They should sell this with out the antenna, as it should make it cheaper as well as I have no use for it. You can buy a 10 dollar adapter to use with you factory installed antenna which now days most newer cars have.
I would recommend this to a friendnot happy with radio
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sirius connect tuner was installed by best buy
I would recommend this to a friendGood Product but Horrible install
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The product is fine. The installer was pleasant. But to install the antennae he placed it under my weather strip. Now my truck leaks. Huge pond on the floorboards. Not happy
I would recommend this to a friendHorrible experience
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had a factory SiriusXM stereo in my vehicle that worked flawlessly, but "upgraded" it to a model with Apple Carplay / SiriusXM Ready from BestBuy. Had to purchase this to continue to get SiriusXM. Geek Squad connected this to my factory XM antenna (long story, multiple trips, amazon purchases and additional cost getting that to happen) and it's horrible. I constantly lose signal, and am very unhappy. Chatted with and then had to call Geeksquad support and was told a Supervisor would call me to follow up, but still nothing.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from SiriusXMProductExpert
Posted .So sorry you had this experience with the product. Not sure what year, make, model vehicle you have, but we really never recommend using the factory antenna. The main reason is that deepening on the vehicle and the technology used XM or Sirius and the year of the antenna, the technology has evolved. In addition, the adapters needed to convert the FAKRA OEM antenna connector to the SMB connector that the SXV300 requires can cause issues as well- extra cables/connections can cause loss in signal quality. The antenna that comes with your SXV300 SiriusXM Connect Tuner uses the latest technology and design elements that are tuned specifically to the satellite constellation as well as includes filters to better reject LTE and other interfering signals that were likely not present when your factory car antenna was designed. If you install the NGVA3 antenna properly (external and on the roof) , you will notice a much improved experience with far less muting.
