do you have to go to the SC to pick it up or can they ship it to you

Tbh I'm not sure. I'll have to double check. I'd imagine they ship it to me. Will email and get verification.
Same here. The Plano SC has yet to get back with me.let me know when you hear back. if they can ship it, i'll email your SC and get it from them since temecula can't be bothered to respond (and the next closest SC is almost an hour away).
My only minor complain is that the signal cuts easily underneath obstacles unlike my other car. No big deal, but it's like it doesn't have the usual 3 second buffer that is usually offered on most SXM tuners.
are you saying it drops out just as you're driving down the highway and go under an overpass, for example?
i have the same issue if i'm sitting under an overpass at a traffic light, but just going underneath overpasses on the highway doesn't cause it to drop (even though if i look at the signal meter as i go under the overpass i can see the signal drop briefly)...
I've the signal cut near tall trees, but that's it.
eBayHow are y’all getting the tuners? I can’t get my SC to get back to me.
I cannot get the two closest SCs to get back with me on ordering that part.
Quick update: I have completed my install of the C tuner in my 2022 M3 LR (Intel model). Worked like a charm. Once I rebooted the car, the SXM option showed up. My only minor complain is that the signal cuts easily underneath obstacles unlike my other car. No big deal, but it's like it doesn't have the usual 3 second buffer that is usually offered on most SXM tuners.
Here are the 2 accessories I have used with my C tuner:
FAKRA adapter: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07252FDFD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
SXM antenna: Amazon.com
Thanks again for all your efforts. I am a happy camper.
PS: Although a minor detail, it also works with Canadian subscription like mine
Is the fm amplifier a Tesla part or something you can purchase anywhere?Finally got my jumper wires and hooked up the second FM amplifier.

I stuck on one station and tested the signal strength. I noticed about a 30% increase in quality (or 30% decrease of noise) with the second FM amplifier. The length of the jumpers didn't affect this, though for simplicity I recommend getting 11" jumpers or a bit longer (I had to use two 9" jumper wires).
I drove around on a bumpy road so I know the rats nest of extra wires don't make any noise... yet.

I used a single cable tie from a huge kit of them to keep the wires in place. Not worth it but whatever.
I didn't take a photo of this but I used the bottom bolt of the two right bolts to mount the amplifier. I reccomend using a washer though since the amplifier rotates with the bolt, doh!
I get all the fm signals I should in my area per this website, with 3/4 of the distant channels not showing up.
I checked my latest software update for the SiriusXM commands:

Still the same message. One day...
Is the fm amplifier a Tesla part or something you can purchase anywhere?
Indeed it's a super common Tesla model 3 part (1079735-00-A) you can buy on ebay for cheap. I'm pretty sure if you wanted to skip it and solder up some jumper wires to a fakra connector, that you don't even need the amp to get the increased fm signal. I didn't look very hard for a bare connector and I already had the amplifier so that's why I didn't go that direction.Is the fm amplifier a Tesla part or something you can purchase anywhere?
