I have a 2012 Sport. The stock radio really didn't have that great of FM reception, and now that I have put an aftermarket system in, the reception hasn't gotten any better. Everything is grounded, unless I'm 100% locked in a station, it's a static or buzzing.
Head unit is a Pioneer AVH-X3500BHS. Any ideas...please email me
rossk7@myactv.net....I have Sirius in there, but it would be nice to be able to listen to FM....thanks

Replied to your PM. Sense you had this problem before your new head unit went in, it has to be your factory power antenna.
