Radio questions ....

Two quick questions ...
1) I checked the manual and didn't see any info on the signal strength meter that shows up on the radio. Is it for the satellite signal strength? Or for the bluetooth connection? Or ...?
2) I had an XM radio in my older car. It showed signal strength from satellite & the terrestrial signal strength. Under a bridge, the radio (I believe) uses terrestrial signals to stay acquired. I noticed on my 128i, I lose reception under bridges, under ground garages ... I suspect the bimmer doesn't use terrestrial signals to augment reception. Anyone know if that's the case?

I believe that's cell phone signal strength.

I don't think Sirius has terrestrial repeaters like XM has.
