Nope. Entire sound system is OEM

Mine does the same thing. It started after I added the MSD BAP.

Just saw the video that would drive me crazy. Is there anything else not working right ? For S&G if you have a Multimedia ck batter make sure batter leads are tight and has a good ground. Batter should read around 14.4 when the car is on if some thing else might be an underline problem some where else.

I'm gonna look around today and see if I can pinpoint something. It's killin me.

On my 2010 Camaro there was a TSB to install a "noise suppression filter." I had this done. Here are a few existing TSB's for you to consider...

#07-08-46-002D: Audio Whine Noise from Radio Speakers When using OnStar (Install Noise Suppression Filter) - (Jul 29, 2009)

#03-08-44-005I: Poor Radio Reception or Radio Static/Increased Interference with Rear Window Defogger On or Some Rear Window Defogger Grids May Be Inoperative (Diagnose and Repair Rear Window Defogger Heating Grid) - (Jun 18, 2009)

The second one has me curious. The first one not so much due to the fact that I don't use onstar. Hmmmm. Thanks for the info!!

Well I narrowed it down to the DRL's. as soon as I turn the lights off the static goes away and it's clear as a bell. Now the only Thing I've done is the harness from JDP to keep them on all the time and LED bulbs...soooo I guess ill start with the harness and then the bulbs (although I'm not really sure how either would affect radio reception).

Some type of grand loop

Gonna have to wait till tomorrow. Stupid low car! Cat get to it without jacking up the front haha.

[lfree11012]

Lol. Ya I know the filling.

[Denis]

well i narrowed it down to just the DRL's. i removed the harness i installed from JDP to have the DRL's on at all times. this way i can isolate between them or the halo's or the actual headlights. well there is crazy interference with the DRL's on...but not the halo's or headlights. is it possible that the LED bulbs can cause radio interference? or would it be something deeper?

Denis, was just curious to know if you found the source of your radio static yet..? Reason Im asking is cuz today I upgraded my fog lights to a set of these..crystal white led-projection "bulbs" and they work great-very bright...but when I went for a test ride, I had the radio on and asa I hit the fog light button, all but one of the local stations went from clear to instant static. I turned the lights off and on again a few times and sure enough its definitely the new bulbs causing the static/interference. I read some were having the same issue with HID's too...
