Ford - Crownvictoria :: 2003 - Radio Will Not Play / Station Appears On Display But Getting Static
Jun 13, 2011
2003 Ford Crown Victoria with only 49K miles. This was my great aunt's and this car sat a lot(no garage) She has passed and I need to sell but the radio won't play. CD and cassette are fine. Radio station appears on display but all I get is static. If I wiggle the wires on the back windshield I get reception sometimes but not often. I have taken wires off and cleaned terminals but that did not improve reception at all.

I got a 2011 Camry a couple of months ago with the EX Radio Bluetooth, MP3, Satellite, and more. After I got it I realized you can't see the radio station setting display in the sunlight. I took it in and found out there is no way to adjust the brightness unless it's at night with the lights on. Turning the little odometer knob adjust other things but this radio is an LCD display of whilte letters and numbers on a gray background. When the headlights are on the adjustment just makes the backlight brighter, not the lettering. Don't say turn the odometer knob, that doesn't work as I said above.

I have a 2006 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor and it will play Cd's but not burned CD. I tried using MP3's and FLAC file types with no luck. How to play a burned CD in a Crown Vic?

Yea, so early in the morning I turn on the radio am, and touch the heater/cool and the static is really bad. It's bad before I touch the heater on but is worse during.

I have a 2003 Dodge Dakota. A couple of years ago I was driving along and the radio just cut out, with no problems prior. I didn't go over train tracks or anything that would jar it, etc. It continued to not work for the next 6-8 months or so, but would occasionally cut in and out. After a period of time the radio suddenly began working again. The radio continued to work for a year or more. A month ago, I'm driving down the road and it again, cuts out. But now I can somewhat hear the radio amid the static. The best way to describe it is what happens to the reception when traveling under high voltage wires. Antenna is secure.

This may sound crazy, but there are a few good sports talk radio shows on AM radio that I can't get. The problem is the AM stations on my car radio all come in with a ton of static. If I hold the antenna, the sound is great. If I move the antenna around, eventually I can get it pretty clear I also replace the antenna with a after-market one for looks more than anything, but the static issue remains.
My car is a 2003 VW Passat.

My '99 F150 has an issue. The green digital display had one portion of a station number and one indicator section on the volume display that will intermittently cut out and reappear for no apparent reason. What is happening?

I bought the 1999 GLS, came with JVC radio. I get ONE radio station in scan; when manually tuning to local stations, there is either nothing, or very poor reception. I had the radio pulled out (by local car radio shop), antenna is plugged in. I put a new flexible 16" roof antenna on (when removing it, even the ONE station is lost).

I have no odometer display and the radio is also not lighting up. I don't see any fuses blown. Is there a relay or something I should be looking for and being I don't have an owners manual, which fuse is the one that covers this. Truck is a 2000 F150 ....

Had my 2015 GTI for two months now and I've been experiencing so minor issues with my stereo. Sometimes when I start the car it will reset the radio to 87.7FM which is completely static and not an actual radio station does it completely at random. Second issue that I've had is when my Ipod is plugged in it won't allow me to change the song, either from the screen or from the steering wheel. The only way to get it to work again is pulling over and restarting the car.

Happened for the second time in 5 days this morning. Radio starts up and says reinitializing and then comes back with all presets to 184. Don't like this happening!!

A new problem with the navigation system display on our 2010: the radio station buttons are mapping with an offset.
In other words, I press the top left preset button, and get the radio station two positions down. If I want the top left station, I must select an area well above that station on the touch screen.
Is there a way to reset the touch screen so that it maps correctly?

I was wondering if with vagcom you can change the scroll-wheel on the steering wheel to run through the 6 presets, rather than just going through all of the stations. The way it is, I find it useless but it would be great if it could go through my presets. Maybe I just missed it in the owners manual...but I don't think VW gives you a way to change it... Btw, it's an '04.5 V8 w/ nav - fully loaded.

I get a very annoying high pitched electronic whine on an AM radio station that I like. It occurs all the time. Its like a grounding problem. It is so bad I can't listen to the station in my 2009 LS. Only one station, AM 810, has the issue. I don't have ML. Just a regular radio. No other radio issues.

I have no difficulty adding stations to the radio pre-select menu but how do you delete all those annoying stations that have been pre-selected and take up space? I'm getting frustrated having to thumb through all the junk just to get to the setting I like.

Hearing some static on my radio. Dealer said Ford aware of problem but nothing they could do. This was a couple of days ago. Just passed 36k. Have always owned Ford pickups but have always hated dealing with their service people. Hear it on satellite and FM. It slight but noticible.

My radio stopped working on my way to work. I heard a loud "pop" of static and then it shut off. I took it to the dealer, which had a hard time fixing it (they had it about 2 weeks), and they replaced all the fuses in the truck and it worked for about a week, but it just stopped again. Not sure what to do.

Installed a 20'' light bar on my 2012 and when I turn on the Aux 1 uplifter switch my radio stations have static. This was not the case before the install. I have the hot wire tied into the Aux 1 (25amp) switch. Ground is run to drivers side battery ground. Do I need some kind of relay in line?
