guys, I have installed the radio, but I am running into some problems. When I try to switch a channel, it does not respond, until I hit the button twice. Sometimes I need to hit it 3 times to switch a channel. Anybody esle has this issue?Radio is not activated yet, might that be the problem?And sometimes it responds when I hit up or down button once..weird, this bothers me a lot

I believe I had the same issue as well before I activated the radio. Glad to hear it is working.
On a side note, I have lost my signal from time to time while driving. I did not have this problem with XM. Hopefully, moving the antenna will solve this problem.
Has anyone noticed that if you press "info" it does not display the artist, title etc? I have to touch "text" on the screen to display the artist, title etc.

I haven't had any issues with losing signal, but we have a terrestrial repeater in Houston, so that probably helps. Florida has the following (though it might not be a complete list).
Florida
* Ft. Lauderdale
* Jacksonville
* Miami
* Orlando
* Tampa
As for display.....did you mean "status" and not "info"? I don't recall "info" ever displaying that information.

Yes, you are correct! That was the button I was looking for. I thought I may have been pressing the wrong one.
It looks like I have one. I had Sirius in my 04 g35 sedan and I lost the signal once in a while. I have Howard back. I am willing to live with it.

I know most of the talk about adding the Sirius receiver has been for cars with navigation. Has anyone added the receiver who doesn't have navigation? If so, did you have any issues?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Several guys on the myg35 forums have done it with no issues. Not having Nav should actually make it easier for you since you are actually replacing an external receiver instead of using a legacy cable and having it over-ride the internal receiver.
One thing that will be interesting is to see if you can use the stock XM antenna. I've used XM antennas on Sirius before, but I've seen posts saying both yay and nay for the G's XM antenna.
Worst case scenario, the guys at Grubbs are really good about returns. When I originally wanted to return the unit, they were going to cover return shipping (sent me a prepaid FedEx label) and not charge me any restocking fee.

guys, so I've installed sirius antenna as close to the rear windshield as possible..but get no signal,even tried moving it around, I have Huper Optik on the rear window. As soon as I put it on the dashboard, everythign is working. Ofcourse, my dash does not have film. The I have a tiny spot toward the roof which is missing some Huper film, and if I bring it to that spot, it starts working. Does anybody esle have this problem? If no, and you windows are tinted, what film/antenna did you get? I got Dot Ultra Low Profile Vehicle Antenna. I thought Huper was all ceramic..
