Anyone ever had the problem of the CD working fine, but nothing but static for the radio.. Will not pickup anything and the antenna is connected....
Just wondering.

i have not had that problem on my z.

but i DO have that problem in my daily driver. I think either the antenna came loose somewhere between the radio and the back of the car, or it is damaged at the power antenna motor (which shorted out). Of course, if you have a stock antenna, you don't have to worry about this (since it's not a power antenna).

have you checked to see if it's connected at the point where it connects to the antenna mast itself?

yes My C6 has static on the FM Band. The dealer told me to push the AM button then go back to the FM and it does work. They say the factory is working on it. They don't seam smart enough to fix it. I have complaned for 9+ mounths.

Sounds like an input problem inside the radio if the antenna is ok, especially if no band works ( AM, FM, etc). To keep it less nerdy, radio is junk if so... Try a range of bands and see if the static changes any (if so it still wouldnt matter cuz it would still be an internal problem...).
