Ordered 9/11. Shipped 9/13. Received 9/16! Same as others - shipped from Washington. I just installed it, following the cardboard cut-out method others used. So far, I do notice radio reception is a touch less - a little fuzzier on back roads. However, this is only until the HD radio kicks in! I haven't noticed any loss in HD radio, thankfully. I live in the Bay Area and so none of the towers are too far, but driving on the 280 from SF to SJ it only cut out once, and very briefly.
