Default Radio Static

I have a very early C7. My radio has started to have a lot of static on AM and FM in locations where it was fine before. My other cars get good reception in these locations. The dealer checked out all the connections and said they were fine. Dealer wanted to know if they should go into the dashboard to find the problem. Not sure this is a great idea.
Any ideas? Also, where is the antennae?

Try disabling the HD radio mode. If you are not in a strong signal area, HD can be an issue. See Settings | Radio | HD on the info display.

HD radio was on 2014 only.

I'm in the same boat. Very poor reception were other cars can.

I'll try the HD thing next chance as well.
