fuzzy radio

**joeringo11** · 11-06-2011

So everytime I turn my rear window defrost on my radio reception to all stations goes slightly fuzzy (enough to bug you but not all the way gone). Is this common with 04+? Has anyone else had this problem? I'm guessing it has something to do with how close the defrost and antenna are to eash other since they are both by the back window.
Or maybe something is wrong with my wiring. Maybe just too close to eash other?

My signal can be weak at times but I have an '08 and the antenna is built into the rear glass. I havent had to use the rear defrost yet so idk about that yet. I noticed my window tint affected in a little even though it is supposedly non metallic.

There was a recall for this problem. Take it to the dealer

May check that out. Thanks.

How should I go about researching that recall? I tried just looking online and there is nothing about the defroster/radio problem.

**boostedcompg** · 12-18-2011

The dealer can look up recalls. Just call them.

So there was a recall on all of them or just the newer ones? Mine definitely does this too and I have an 01

**boostedcompg** · 12-18-2011

Just the newer as the antenna was in the rear window

**joeringo11** · 12-18-2011

Alright I'll give them a call sometime. Thanks for the info.

Take it to Plaza Pontiac/Buick on 120th and L in Omaha. In my experiance they're usually really good to work with and may be willing to help you out even if it wasn't a specific recall for your year.

The parts guy is GREAT if you need anything too. He beat autozones price on supercharger gaskets for me, and if I go up early enough he can get things the same day.
