So with three different vehicles in the last little while now, we've been able to try out XM radio for a short trial period, and each time, I've concluded within seconds that it sounds like super overly compressed mp3.  I was just wondering if anyone else has had the same experience?

Solve your own audio issues  |  First Steps with RPi 3  |  Humidity & Condensation  |  Sleep & Hibernation  |  Overclocking RAM  |  Making Backups  |  Displays  |  4K / 8K / 16K / etc.  |  Do I need 80+ Platinum?

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

I've had XM in two of my vehicles (2015 Honda Accord and now my 2016 Honda Civic) and have found that channel to channel the sound quality seems to differ. I've always given up on it because it seems at least in my two cars anytime I drive near anything remotely tall (buildings, trees, children) I lose signal.
