Satellite Radio Antenna [Freightliner]

the radio will usually say something like: 'no connection' ; does his radio have that on the screen or does it show a channel playing ?

 

the connecting cable could be bad; the small wires inside the connectors are very fragile, likewise the connection to the radio is very fragile also rendering the radio a piece of junk.

 

yeah mine said damaged antenna or something. The right truck stop will sell a strong replacement wire for $20 something.

 

I have the same radio and I use the antenna it came with, works really well for me. I didn't buy any other antenna. All you have to do is run the antenna outside the cab, tape it above the windshield, out in front. It's waterproof/weatherproof. So, no problem. I've had mine taped out there for about a year now, still good. But if you break your antenna, just call customer service, give them your radio ID and get a free replacement antenna.

 

get it working?
