On my 2005 DA 40 (G1000 KAP 140), the XM radio sound quality is pretty poor (think scratchy AM radio reception). Also, I can only hear the XM in one ear. I hear the Comm / Nav equally in both ears and the quality is pretty good, but the XM is really lousy. I'm using Bose X headsets (which are awesome and very quiet). The Bose X has a stereo / mono DIP switch inside the battery pack and it is set to stereo.
Is the DA40 setup for stereo XM and what kind of sound quality are folks getting?
