Semi thread hi jack, my satelite reception is fine when tuned to a station (few dead spots). However, when I change from one satelite station to another, there is a lag of about 4-5 seconds before I pick up anything, whereas the change is instantaneous from one fm station to another. Anyone else have this? I have the standard (ie not B&O) sound and no nav if that matters.

This is to be expected. There is compression and delay with Sat, so it will take a second or two between stations. Standard radio won't have this.

Mine actualy seems like more than a second or two and my wifes car with XM doesn't do that, but if you say they do that I will accept it as normal. Thanks NWS4Guy

Odd, if it's taking more than that, seems like something could be off. Not sure, but you could ask the dealer, they will likely say it's normal or deal with it though so long as the station does resolve.
