As it stands, i get signal loss from even driving under a tree.

Thanks for the help

I know I have seen/heard this issue a few times. The antenna for XM needs to be a piece of metal and not just laying on the dash. If your head unit came with a small metal square one side adhesive one side black this is where the antenna needs to go. 2 other options are let is stick to a piece of metal in the trunk, or on the outside of your car.
