for socal (405/605fwy) people. does the HD Radio kick in and out often?
 

i drove the car without an antenna because i couldn't find it then when i did, i was hoping the reception would improve but it seems to still kick in and out often, almost all the time when i pass under a bridge!

are any of the aftermarket antennas stronger?

From norcal not socal and my hd kicks in and out like every 1-2 minutes. No exaggeration. I finally got so tired of it that it motivated me to put songs on my phone and go bt lol

Does it turn on / off... or can you actually hear it get noticeably quieter? If the later, I noticed that issue when I was driving a friend's Camry with HD radio, drove me insane!

I don't really notice but I have a shark fin antenna so it probably doesn't, but I do remember it used to kick in n out a couple of times when I had my oem antenna. I mostly just listen to my BT Audio though.

This happens to me quite a bit on the 405 between Santa Monica Blvd. and the 101.

It happens to me the farther I travel South.

Yeah, and it's annoying. I wish you could turn off the HD all together, just to avoid the volume change. I can live without HD sound on the radio.

You can. It's in the radio settings.

What bout Bluetooth does that cut off on anyone also. When I'm Listening to my music from myiphone.

Yes that happens to me too. So annoying

I've never had a problem with Bluetooth. HD radio is just a reception thing.

I know y is that do u know

I noticed if I have my phone on my lap (not sure if charging has anything to do with it, I have a charger connected to the car charger not the usb that is always connected when I am in the car) it will sometimes do that, if I leave it on the passenger seat it doesn't or very very very rarely... happened like once. So I am assuming.... bad bluetooth connection?

Yup, my wife and I notice this...she asked me wtf the car radio was doing lol


Same here, Im in SD, and there are several spots on the freeway it does it to us.

Knock on wood, we haven't had this issue yet. Streaming from my windows phone, my wife's iphone and an ipad
