Sirius Radio Signal Loss

[MDEVIR]

Have a 2015 EL and for approximately the last 3 weeks been having horrible Sirius radio antenna reception. At time sky is cloudy, so presumed this may be problem. However, today was clear sky and signal was intermittent. I have done the signal refresh and this has not helped. If it is recommended to replace the antenna, how easy is this to complete? Any similar experience appreciate thoughts.

2016-2017's had a known issue, you can read about it here:

Often a bluetooth device could be the interference culprit. I've even read about cheap USB chargers in the 12V outlet causing issues. Ensure you have neither and if you think its the antenna over the windshield, its part number is GL1Z-10E893-AC and its a reasonable $27 at Tasca Ford Parts.

Keep in mind the truck uses this antenna AND the in-glass rear passenger quarter window for Sirius reception. (roof for space signal, 1/4 window for Sirius terrestrial repeaters)

Might be a good idea if you happen to have an old Sirius or XM generic antenna (like from a home kit, or universal car kit, these things are cheap) laying around to temporarily install before going the new route.
