I had read that as well, and was looking to do something like the attached link, but was wondering what it would look like in the standard reflector housing. Just curious at this point. Not sure I'm even going to do it.

Hi Todd,
Just wanted to check in and see if you had heard back from the chief engineer yet about if they've had any update on fixing the reception issue? I hope the supplier comes out with a fix relatively soon!!
dmd, let us know what you find out from the dealer. It's interesting that the creator of HD radio has come out and said they know the problem with the reception is in the antenna co-axle cable, but yet no one has had this replaced yet. It'd be interesting to know if an aftermarket cable would fix this problem
And the only the vehicle in GM's lineup that they're trying to push it in is the Silverado's and Sierra's? Highly doubt it. If this was a problem across the board in new vehicle platforms, then you might have something
if this is fixed for the 2015 systems, wouldn't swapping the 2014 system for the 2015 system fix the problem? I would assume for the most part, that either version should work in either truck, just some different hardware installed?
Thanks for the follow up, TJay! Any chance you can let us all know what the new PI number is when its released? Maybe tbarn can also help with this? At this point, some fix is better than no fix at all.
TJay, did you happen to get anywhere with iBiquity and replacing the coax cable? I was reading a thread about how one of the directors said the coax cable needed to be replaced because the ends weren't coated properly and allowing interference. Davis1 mentioned that you had been in contact with iBiquity. Was this fix ever attempted?
tbarn, do you happen to know what the P/N is for replacing the radio module? This might help us with a '13 build go to dealers and let them know what needs to be fixed. Plus the update of course
I'm still waiting for someone that has an 2014 build year truck to actually get the update and comment on it. Everyone commenting having 2013 build years and haven't had a module replacement. Until then, the update very well could work, but need those with the newer module to comment.
I appreciate you responding, Todd! If you could double check for us that the 'PI' that everyone keeps mentioning is the actual update, that would be great! Any information you can find out from the engineer about the update and module replacement, would be really appreciated!
