when i turn on my rear defrost my radio gets all staticky. what is going on? i looked in the forums and tried to find something but couldnt. help me out guys. winters on its way! AHHHH!!!!!!!

 

thats awesome

never heard of this before...your all stock as far as audio?

 

yeah its totally stock. i have bose stereo too. im totally confused as to why this is happening. and NOBODY has any ideas as to why its happenin.

 

The only real reason i can think of is that there is an antenna built into the rear windshield...and when you turn it on it creates the static
And since you have Bose, the system decided which antenna is getting a better reception the one on the rear windshield or the actually antenna...

 

Again, but this time in english please

 

Alright...

There is 2 antennas in the max
The one that comes out of the side of the trunk
and on built into the rear winshield...

The bose looks at both signals and it decides which one has the best reception (aka getting the best signal)

It picks the one with the strongest signal.

Sorry about confusing you in the other post...I was out there, and I didn't proof read...

 

ohhh ok.... so how does that help me? haha sorry

 

Did you figure it out? On my '04 max, after getting repaired this spring from a rear-end accident, I have the same problem. Nissan hasn't been helpful.

As soon as I turn on the rear defroster, the radio reception totally cuts out (only static). I figure it's a bad ground or something, the defroster is grounding through the antenna or something, but the rear defrost still works.

*shrug*

 

i replaced the antenna just because it was broken. but it is working fine now.. *SHRUG*
