A few days ago the radio reception in our 2013 xle went out. It was intermittent at first and then nothing. Seemed like maybe a loose antenna, but that wasn't it. We have the navigation and entune, so not sure how the antenna ties into that. Bluetooth and everything else works fine, just am/fm reception. Nothing but static.
Since then the reception goes in and out randomly. Good reception for 5 min or so and then it goes out again..static..all channels. Sometimes when it goes out, one of the stations located close by can be faintly heard.
Took the antenna off and it is bent slightly at the post...almost certainly from the car wash.....but it's bent, not cracked or broken in any way. Didn't seem like that would affect reception, but I don't know.
Anyone else experienced this?
Any ideas?
