2015 Factory Satellite Sound Quality

The audio quality coming from my Entune goes in this order

1) FM Radio is best
2) Bluetooth from iPhone is next
3) Satellite radio sounds like the AM radio I had in my 1979 Ford Escort with the single speaker mounted in the center of my vibrating dashboard (well not that bad but its not very good)

Anything to be done?

 

Have you played with the sound settings in each input mode?
They all remember separately.

 

The satellite in my '15 was pretty bass heavy at first but adjusting the settings alleviated that. I do have to have the volume up a bit more than either the AM/FM or Bluetooth but not much.

 

Zero complaints from mine on any input. One thing you didn't say, do you actually have the 1979 Escort single speaker package?

 

I'm an idiot, you're right I did not realize there was independent settings for each mode, sounds much better know

 

Yes I did, and I timed my Escort, 0-60 in 27 seconds. Ford's finest 4 cyl with auto transmission.

 

You're good now so share the knowledge.

 

No, I meant did you get the single speaker package w/your truck...I'm not always funny.

 

I think it was a package, it sure as heck wasn't custom

 

I find that Sirius/XM no matter what radio, the sound is terrible. I think they have compressed so much so they can offer more.

 

I concur with the above - Satellite will always sound a little muffled/lower volume than FM. I also have a 2014 Stingray and I experience the same thing...but it really doesn't bother me in either vehicle. Years ago, when it was XM, it seemed a few of their very popular channels were broadcast very strong and sounded the same as your most powerful local FM station...now after the merger all the channels seem to have the same poorer quality.

 

Yep it's like that in all vehicles. My F-250 I had was pretty terrible as well. For example, Octane (channel 37) was naturally loud and I was able to hear the kick drum with my aftermarket sub, but lithium (channel 34) was so quiet that I had to change to another channel to make sure the sub was even working.
