This is a 2007 Silverado 1500 with ONSTAR and stock radio. The radio just stopped working in August of this year. It comes on and off. But not completely off. That is ; the speakers go way down like a small muffled sound. But you can raise the volume on the muffled sound. Its as if, I barely have any volume on all speakers. When I raise the volume, all the way, you can tell that it is at full volume but the sound coming out is so low, you can barely make it out. After reading many complaints about this GM radio I'm not sure if it's the radio, AMP or speakers? Could just be a short? I've seen this type of problem many times on this site for this radio. If anyone comes up with the fix , please let me know.
Initially when the truck is started the radio only has high end. We drive for 5 to 10 miles then all of a sudden the radio starts working normally. Usually within a few miles of home. I removed the radio and checked the connections. All seemed normal. No corrosion or cut wires. It also does this when I connect my IPod to the Aux connection.
Well...
I turn on the RADIO one day around March 19th, 2013 and there is hardly any sound.
The sound I get sounds like someone pinching their nose and speaking, and holding their fingers into their ears. Whatsup with that??? I went to the RADIO shop here in town and they say it will cost me $1200.00 to replace & or repair the problem, which they have no idea of where to start. I just paid $34,000 for this and the RADIO goes bad a year later.
WHAT is the FACTORY WARENTY on something like this???
This truck looks like new, and has a MAJOR PROBLEM already???
CAN SOMEBODY HELP ME HERE???
