I have a 2005 XKR. On the AM radio I have a lot of static while driving. Any suggestions as to what is wrong?

 

Hello,
I've got the same problem in my 2001 xkr. Static while driving but none at a stop and occasionally when in a curve or going over a hill. Looking for members thoughts.
Yours, Ken

 

Dear Bobson,
If you look at the other radio reception thread just above this, you'll see that I have had the same experience as you. When stopped or going over a bump or hump I all of a sudden have great reception, but when moving, tons of static. My 2002 XJ8 is even worse, there is no AM reception, period. I will tell you, that a couple of months ago, the cable on the antenna mast snapped, and I had a new antenna installed, and the reception, while certainly not perfect, is 80-90% improved. There may have been a grounding issue or something, and when the new mast was installed the issue apparently was corrected.

 

Hello Tberg,
This Spring it will be my first task. Thanks for the info.
Yours, Ken
