    Weird radio behavior - drops FM signal every 50-60 seconds

    I have not replaced anything yet, but I also have not had any issues with the radio cutting out. We are getting ready to have a lot of seat time over the next two weeks, so it will be interesting to see what happens. I am wondering if that vent you found is the culprit. The last times it...

    Weird radio behavior - drops FM signal every 50-60 seconds

If I have anything sitting on the little rubber pad just in front of the coin drawer it will get noticably warm. There was another post earlier in this thread mentioning a...

    Weird radio behavior - drops FM signal every 50-60 seconds

    I will have to do a bit more troubleshooting. I actually have an extended warranty that covers the electronics package so I may be able to better figure it out as long as I can get the issue to duplicate.

    Weird radio behavior - drops FM signal every 50-60 seconds

    I also have a 2013 with the navigation system and have this issue with the radio. I rarely if ever notice it on shorter trips, but just finished a road trip and the issue seemed to get progressively worse during the trip. I noticed it on FM stations and tried selecting and deselecting the HD...
