I just picked up sir-pnr1 for my avic-d3 but at some random times there is static coming through but there are no trees or clouds around with clear view of the sky.

Is the a problem with pnr1 or something else?

Where is your antenna? Sirius goes silent when it dosnt get a signal, XM plays static when it looses its.

I used factory ford sirius antenna. All you had to do is remove a cap and it fits.

The only thing it for some reason with clear view of the sky/no trees it will go have some static but then go away and sounds clear. Like when I listen to howard stern its not constant static but only when someone talks.

Strangest thing I swear, even tried switching out cable, checked connections, removed bluetooth unit. Next is try another antenna.
