FM Antenna Reception With Sirius FM Modulator

Just had the Panasonic unit installed in the 2003, but the radio signal for many stations has degraded noticibaly. Is this normal for FM Modulated systems, or do I need to go kick someone's tail at Circuit City?

I noticed the same thing. I know all my connections are fine because I ran all of the wiring and did the connections before I got power to the unit.

are you turning the Sirius unit off when listening to FM. Leaving it on is like watching TV with the playstation still on...doesn't work too good. I was leaving it on and the reception was horrible. I turned the Sirius unit off and it was fine.

Why are you listening to FM when you have Sirius? Local talk?
