FM stations fade in and out when driving around the city.
I had the TSB applied but it didin't resolve the problem.

yes i do i have a 06 hhr with the xm premium radio and i have very poor reception the dealer changed the antenna and the radio .it is still no good the reception comes and goes and so does the static.
last year i had the popping noise and they did something with reprogramming and it was fine .
i also had the battery die for no reason. and after jumping it it never happened again.

I have fade in and out with XM but FM is fine. XM said they would re-program, but nothing changed. I live in a fairly mountainous area in WA state with lots of trees. I have an 08 with the stock antenna.

Yes. one FM station I listen to is real flakey in a 3-4 mile stretch that goes through a valley. The XM cuts out in a very specific place where there is higher ground to the south. 3 places in the slow lane and one in the fast lane. Actually it makes sense.

Mine sucks ... but I replaced my antenna with a 3 inch stubby antenna. So I sacrificed reception for appearance. Not a problem for me since I listen to my iPod or Sirius satellite radio.

I put on a stubby also, but mostly listen to XM. The XM fades in and out sometimes for no apparent reason. I'm north of Philly.

i get a lot of the fizzle in and out on the xm.

regular radio reception...have yet to every use the FM on it. I usually hate using the radio and by that i mean i'm an ipod or a mp3 cd kind of guy. Regular radios suck, horrible stations here, nothing good to listen to, have to play with it too much to hear one song i would want to hear.
