There is supposed to be a 5 second buffer built in, but like you, I can be under a bridge or overpass for just a brief amount of time and lose the signal. Frustrating.

Well then the 5 second buffer defly doesn't work for me. It will cut out instantaneous if go under a bridge.

I was having issues with the GPS being 50 miles off. Poor HD and XM radio. The dealership changed the antenna. Now everything works mint again.

Finally took mine in. They said it's functioning as designed. :-( They took mine on the highway and noted cutout points, then took another truck from inventory out and noted that it cutout in the same spots.

Piss poor. My Ford with Sirius had flawless reception.

They couldn't find any issues with mine at first, then they removed the antenna and seen it had corrosion at the connection point.

Sat radio SUCKS in mine. Cuts out all the time. Wondering if there is an aftermarket antenna or something I could install.

Picked up a 2017 today. I noticed this problem on the drive home. Cutting out with the fake static sound just driving down a road with a bunch of trees. This is in central Florida.
