• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

Can’t find anything on the forum about this so I decided to start it up. My LX standard (non HK) radio is horrible. The only decent sound comes from local HD stations. Other than that it sounds like an AM radio from a Vega. There is distortion on any mode, including FM. USB and CarPlay are almost unusable due to the distortion and horrible tone/balance issues. Took it to my local dealer and they say that this is normal for this radio. Yup, I bought it used, but can’t imagine that the previous owner did anything to the radio to affect it. Wondering if anyone else is experiencing this and what if any resolution may be possible. If it was possible I’d yank this thing out and put in a $39 Kenwood from Walmart, it’s that bad. How is it possible that a 2022 vehicle could be manufactured with such a substandard radio? Anyone out there is welcome to chime in, I can handle negative comments, would still sound better than this POS radio.
