Default Radio problem

My C4 radio is messed up. When you turn on the radio, the antenna goes up but it will not go down when the radio is turned off. Radio makes a "popping" noise and even after you turn it off, it stays lite up and on. It's like it's possessed. Anyone else had a problem with their radio?

I never had a problem quite like that but I am going to guess that your head unit is toasted and does not turn off so you antenna stays up because it thinks your radio is on.

After rebuilding the Blose system years ago, mine just went out again. This time I decided to replace the whole system and am so happy I did.

If you want to go thru the expense of having someone rebuild your (fill in the blank) year old radio - you will still have a ?? year old system. Consider getting something moderm at around the same or just slightly more cost and be done with it.

go to crutchfield.com put in your car year and model coupe or vert if has bose or not and what brand radio you want and it will tell you what radio will fit in your car. when you purchase the radio you will get everthing to install into car. i had a bose system and they provided a wire harness that plugs wright into the existing body harness, the tech support is very good. local stereo installers wanted alot of money to install a radio so i just did it myself. looks awesome and sounds awesome.

goodluck
