Rice krispie radio.

[BuddaBelly]

My FM radio on my Rt snaps crackles and pops. Spent 3 days at dealership. Found nothing. They replace the antenna but discoverex is was wrong antenna. They called and want me to bring it in again to sit beside another spyder to see if the other spyder has the same issues.
I hook up my XM and the rice krispies go away. I think it could be antenna block or cable.

Mine did the exact same thing. There was a recall that said water was getting into the plug for the ant. where it goes into the radio. The dealer waterproofed it somehow and it's been fine ever since.
