So I just got home and didn't have aux cord in the car so I was listening to the radio -_- and my reception wasn't **** but I could barely hear the local station that I normally like.( I do have the MPX shorty antenna) Once I got in my driveway I turned my lights off and the signal cleared up immediately... I tried it again to make sure I was crazy, with my headlights and fogs same result when my lights where on static / off no static.


Anyone with an idea why this is happening??

thanks!

 

ground loop noise input? lol idk

 

i run into that when i listen to AM radio. i turn my HID fog lights on and the static is crazy! also when i turn the steering wheel i get crazy static.

 

Im having this issue as well

my thread: https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/prob...please-288921/

i found that i get even with the lights off, but if i flash the high-beams the issue goes away temporarily. i need to check all of my grounds, just haven't had time to tear into the car.

 

OP, I remember helping you out with you HID's a while back. Do you still have the same setup from before?

Another suggestion is if you still have the original antenna to give it a try. Just my thoughts.

 

Yeah it's still the same setup, and I don't even know what I did with my old antenna ha. But I sorta think it has something to do with the antenna, I had some problems getting it setup, Idk maybe something has come loose

 

are you running relays on your HID kits? That would likely solve your issue

 

I have static when i run my HIDs. Im running all morimoto 3FIVEs with relays. I rarely listen to the radio anyways

 

I never installed the relay kit and yeah same here I don't really listening to it unless someone doest like my music ha

 

see if you still get eh noise while using a CD, i know i do, which would rule out the antenna
