Just got back from vacation My car was dead so I jumped it , now all that comes out of my radio is static my xm and cd works fine.plus when I switch from each pre programmed stations there is the same song/static on each stations My auto shop couldn't figure out what it may be .is it a amp or the antenna receiver box located on the drivers died under a piece of molding ?. Please help

 

Not sure where you live since I'm on my phone but how cold is it where you are? It's freezing cold in most of the country and mine does that too but once the cabin gets warm it goes away. May or may not be your issue but just a thought

 

Thanks I'm in chicago I know it is hella cold outside. But it's been real cold and never had issue with my car warming up then working it always worked loo

 

Checked antenna connections both behind the radio and in the back window everything is fine , what else could be causing no music and just static...??

 

Sounds like a radio receiver problem. Receivers are very sensitive to ground interference. If you have a radio sound quality problem where all other functions work well, I'd start looking at any ground point the ties back to the radio power source or antenna wiring. If not the ground, then check the capacitor on the radio ground connection. The capacitor is there to reduce transients in the antenna signal.

 

Is the capacitor the device that's located behind the panel,on the drivers side back . I got to the back of the radio and tested with another antenna, there was still static. Do you think its the radio or reciever that's bad??
