    So,

    This might be a tough one to answer lol....but....

    Does anyone notice a difference between cars that came equiped with Sirius in 2007 or before (i dont know about 08's...i dont have one lol)

    it seems like my 09 Ram gets WAY better reception with a ton less dead spots then the SRT....

    is this just me or has anyone else noticed this?

    Hmmm, that's odd Stevo, don't get it, unless it's the radio that's different itself (with a better antenna maybe), I don't know. Got no dead spots on mine.

    I suppose it's possible the Sirius receiver is improved being as it's newer, I know not all receivers are created equal, but being as they're both from Chry and within a couple years of each other that seems kinda far fetched. Don't know bro, sorry.
