Ny XM Shuts off when I press the brake....
only sometimes though. Mods are in sig. XM will completely cut out when I press the brake sometimes, even if the charge is at 13.5-14 volts. What gives? I know my battery isn't the greatest right now but it's enough to start the car and all that jazz. If I run the car in accessory mode, the XM radio will stay on for about 5 mins before it turns itself off for lack of juice.
The radio will cut out with the headlights on or off.

what brand is it? delphi?
most newer car audio products have a safety cut off if there is a voltage drop. It could be dipping enough to trigger it. If the XM only runs for 5 minutes in acc, you definitely need a higher CCA battery. Most average systems (500-1000watts) require at least an 800 CCA battery. Since your stock alternator only puts out an extra 10-15 amps for accessories, there has to be a buffer (battery, capacitor) for extensive add ons.
