My radio sounds worse than an old AM radio

Daft · 07-06-2010, 11:44 AM

Got in my car to drive as usual and the radio sounds like utter crap. I didn't change anything or do anything prior. It's hard to explain how it sounds, the EQ sounds extremely messed. I would say it sounds like an online audio stream that's been way over compressed. When playing the CD/Multimedia it sounds completely fine. It's just the radio (FM & AM). I tried resetting the EQ and adjusting the tone. No dice. Any ideas before I bitch and complain to my stealer for a fix? My car is a 2011 E92 comp pckg.

I take it the radio sounded ok in the past. Maybe it's the antenna connection. You'll have to pull panels to check so you may just want to bring it in and complain instead. Good luck.

Cheers.

Works fine now the next day. I didn't do anything, I don't get it. Hope it doesn't happen again...
