Bad Static on FM Radio


Recommended Posts

Couple of thoughts on this. As your FM is runnimg below the FM quieting level, the reception via the antenna is suspect. This is particularly true if your also experiencing poor reception on the AM band (AM is weaker and more directly influenced by a bad antenna). How's your AM reception ?

 

The second possibly is your vehicle battery is going bad (low voltage). (Some radio's are sensitive to input voltage).

Probably a bad ACM but might try a power reset.

• Turn on and select the am or fm radio.

• Hold the power button (think its the center of the volume control on yours). At the same time press the right seek button and hold both for 5 seconds. 

• When reset is triggered, display will say "resetting" then let go. 

 

Have you added anything to the car, such as LEDs? Cheap Chinese LED  headlights have been traced to FM interference (sends out an EM hash in the FM intermittent frequency range).
