Poor Sirius reception?

I call BS (on their part). I don't see how you could boost satellite signal strength.

I agree but for $26 for the premium package I will take the deal.

I do hope it sounds better. I can't see why it sounds so compressed and crappy in my car and significantly better in the wife's Durango. My guess was a different/better codec (if that's the correct word) in hers.

I agree, every GM vehicle I owned it sounded almost CD quality and in the Mustang it sometimes sounded like a weak FM station
I will check it out tonight as I drive home from work.

I cant say I was experiencing that. Who knows what I will get now. lol

I compare the quality to a 128kbps MP3 file, at best. Usually more like 96kbps.

The issue of the signal cutting in and out appears to be a problem with model year 2016 and not just mustang but several different models across the ford product line

The dealers service department promised updates it's been three weeks and nothing. Has anyone received any more information?

 

[mbaran]

nothing from my dealer...

 

[mbaran]

Sigh, this is the latest information I have...

The reply I received from the engineer is not a good one since they are having multiple car lines having trouble with the SYNC3 system. They are having an issue with the supplier. He is telling me to monitor the Ford website for any updates. No ETA as of yet.

 

[lakeron]

If they are having a problem with a supplier does that mean they have found what exactly is wrong

Correct. It's a big problem with the 2016 F150's as well.

I gave up on Sirius entirely after hearing how good it sounded in a Jeep Cherokee I rented while away last week. It sounds terrible in the Mustang so I will just stick with Pandora and Spotify for now.

Any updates on this situation?
I recently purchased a '16 GT prem, and Siruis sent a new signal, didnt help that much. Going to see the dealer tomorrow to try to get some resolution.
