Default new A4 - poor Sirius reception

Just leased a 2011 A4. Sirius cuts out a lot!

I had the *cheapest* Sirius unit installed in my Toyota and it only went out in tunnels for the most part. I'm probably getting 15 drops out on my 1 hour commute when before I was getting maybe 1 if not zero.

Any known issues? guess I can wait a couple days - I know Sirius has roaming satellites and perhaps they're coincidentally in a weak position?

Default Same issue..

I have a 2011 A4, every small bridge on the expressway I lose signal, even pedestrian bridges. I even lose signal sometimes on the open road, but this is rare.

My wife has a 2010 VW CC. It never loses reception. The other day it lost reception for a split second and that was a long wide bridge, essentially a short tunnel under a part of the city.

The VW Group can obviously make satellite radios that work properly, hence our CC, but the Audi's Radio is sooo annoying.
