My Corvette(s):
2008 C6 Crystal Red-LT2
Default Radio noise

I am sure that this has been covered.
I am probably the only AM radio listener with a C6.
There is a lot of engine noise coming in on the radio. Its probably a function of a ground problem? Of course, a fiberglass body makes for a bad ground plane but i have been in Vettes that do not have this kind of AM problem. I have had other GM vehicles where i had to repair the connection at the rear glass.
I saw an article that said the C6 windshield antenna gives great radio reception.
Any ideas?

You must be listening to Rush Limbow? The union worker who installed your radio is probably a democrat. All kidding aside I have not problem listening on the AM band. You must have some shielding missing or a loose connection.
Good luck with your prob.

Has someone told Rush about this conspiracy?

The antenna is in the front windshield?
I had a bonne and one of the diversity connections broke off prior to delivery. It only really affected AM. Is this something i can do myself?
Thanks.
