XM Stereo problems.

When listening to XM the stereo output is probably 30% less then if I listen to a CD or FM stereo. Anyone else having this problem? Btw I have the NAV system.
thanks

Seems to be an inherent "Problem" with the XM. My volume output is also fairly low.. not sure if there is a fix.

I have the exact same problem. I truly believe that the sound quality is impaired also.

Oh I don't have that problem..that is why there is a volume ****

Seriously...same situation here...but CD will always be better than transmitted signal...but I have to say after listening to XM my interest in FM is zero...

The only possible fix for this would be a software upgrade or an updated unit. It is snowing big time here in Reno. So I am driving my truck. I did a switch between the CD and XM and there is very little difference. So little in fact you don't have to adjust the volume at all. Also it seems that the quality of the XM signal is superior to what I get in the C6. Now I am thinking they are not decoding the signal properly. Also the speed sensitive volume in the truck is light years ahead of the Bose Automatic Volume Control, which I have been unable to tell the difference. I think is time we started to complain to Chevy and maybe get someone on the case and get us some new software.
