Radio static in reverse (AT)? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

So backing out of my driveway and my radio lost reception until I went out of reverse. Tried it a few more times aat different locations with the same result. Has this been happening in other cars? I don't use the radio that much so I never noticed it before.

Yeah, i get the same thing happening to me, i think the problem is maybe the cree LED reverse lights that i ordered from automotive lighting, maybe it's producing an interference with the radio..?
that's my .02

That's interesting since I just installed those my self. How would less interfere though? Dry, not much of an electrical guy, just knew there was interference somewhere.
