Would love to see someone provide a replacement receiver antenna that just sits flat on the roof and increases the reception area. Personally, I'm not a big fan of the Shark Fin anyway, appearance-wise.

I wasn't trying to say it was because its a Chevy. I happen to have owned Fords and I like them, but I have nothing against Chevys either. I'm just saying, there must be something in the design of the antennae that can be corrected to make it better. If I can get good reception in one car, why not the other? Personally...I love my Camaro, but the sound system leaves a lot to be desired, and with the reception being what it is, it can be quite aggravating. I won't pay for XM once my trial is up, because if it keeps going out, then it will REALLY aggravate me.
