Interference with FM stations? - Click HERE to go to the original thread with graphics

I have been getting tons of interference on all different FM stations lately...has anyone else had this problem? I am thinking that my receiver is dying and the FM transmitter is losing its juice. Thanks.

Had the same problem in our Explorer. Removing the exterior car antenna solved the problem.

I don't understand how a strong fm transmitter goes bad over time, but I suppose it's possible. The best thing to do is to hardwire the audio portion.
This will help you understand the options.

If you insist on an FM Transmitter that is strong this one is.

I have been having the exact same issues with my Stiletto 2. It worked fine till about 10 days ago. Tonight i got the hardwire kit to "kick" the car antennae out and it seems to have fixed everything.

Thanks to TSSRADIO for getting the parts to me quickly.

When I get interference I just change the band the radio is on, and then it's fine.

change the station . if you change from 88.1 you can find one that will work all the time

I started out on the default 88.1 and then they use the frequency now for a latin station. I'm currently on 94.1 and haven't had an issue with that frequency.

You could pony up for the direct hook in and not have any signal interference but it's like 130 for it + more if you pay to have it installed and not do it yourself.

Go to your local radio shack and buy the cable that costs 2.99 and use the auxillary hole on your car radio. You no longer need the Fm Cord attached to your radio. It has been a God send living here in West Virginia. Itis the same cable that you would use to plug your ipod into your car.

Here is a copy and paste from sirius website.

BEST - DIRECT WIRED CONNECTION VIA "AUX IN" OR "LINE IN" INPUT
For best audio performance and easiest installation.

For those car radio models that offer an "AUX IN" or "LINE IN" input

Purchase an audio cable that matches the connection type of your car radio and your SIRIUS radio at your local electronics retailer (your SIRIUS radio requires a 1/8" stereo male connector)
Plug one end of the cable into the "AUDIO OUT" or "LINE OUT" jack on your SIRIUS radio. Plug the other end into your "AUX IN" or "LINE IN" jack on your car radio
Turn the FM transmitter of your SIRIUS radio OFF

NOTE: Refer to your car radio manufacturer's guidelines for correct installation

NOTE: The location of the "AUX IN" or "LINE IN" jack in the car radio varies from car to car. Some common locations are:


on the face plate of the car radio
anywhere on the front dash panel
inside the glove compartment
inside the center console in between the front seats
on the back of the radio
NOTE: If the "AUX IN" or "LINE IN" connection is on the back of your car radio, you may want to consider professional installation

Enjoy and let me know how it works for you
