Default Radio Static

Has anyone had static problems on an early C7 on both AM and FM?

Way back in the old days (for some that may only be 10 yrs ago LOL) static in the radio that followed the engine RPM was usually a bad plug wire or antenna ground. Our C7's will definitely let you know with a ton of lights and fault codes about a bad plug wire or connection. I would probably put that one out of the way.
It may still be a bad antenna or connection.
Possibly a bad/loose ground wire someplace in the radio connections.
Maybe just a bad radio?
If it's constant and not intermittent, take it in and let the dealer T/S it. If it's only intermittent maybe you can chase it down; although if it's still under warranty at least get it documented.

Try to XM. No static, no commercials. AM/FM mostly commercials it seems.
