So I would like to know if anyone else is experiencing problems with their radio system. The problem is that I get static noise when driving around. It keeps coming and going so it is not constant. I have tried AF on/off, exactly the same problem with no difference. Also it does not matter on what channel I am currently in.
Is this normal for the rio radio? I have never had problems like this with any other car I have driven.
Radio is the default one with no GPS/backup camera.
I have the same static issues with my antenna on the freeway mainly. I am thinking of getting a sharkfin but if the problem would persist there is no point...food for thought I guess.
Depending on what causes the issue the sharkfin will not solve it. If you know somebody else with the same car you could try to swap the antenna to test if that is broken.
I recieved my RIO today with a new radio installed, whoo looks like no more static noise for me! Altough as soon as I connected my phone I noticed a difference with my new radio. It does not show me BlueTooth media info (song info).
Either I am too dumb to enable song info or (I tried the album/songlist in display options) did they fit my RIO with an older model radio? The old radio never showed me the name of my phone and the option to press tune to toggle play/pause. It always showed me the song info whether i was listening to MP3's or Youtube.
