Default Radio Bleedover??

I'm trying to see if this has or does happen to anyone else. Over the past week, traveling on I-35 between San Antonio and Austin, I will get major bleedover from a CB or something. The first time I was listening to the radio, the second time I was listening to a CD. Pretty annoying.

You will get that with poorly shielded speakers OR truckers running high power Amplifiers. My ham radio sometimes bleeds over my powerd subwoofer in my basement if I'm running full output power.

completely stock or modified?

If a model with tourpak, check the connection to the steel plate in the bottom is good, that is the ground plane for the antenna.

in terms of CB, some azzhats run more than the allowed 4 watts and will blast out 25 or 100 watts power...the bleed of which can cause all kinds of interesting problems.

There is a new telecommunications tower on that stretch of I-35 that TxDOT and DPS are going on to with UHF repeaters that might be causing some of the problem. They are still working through a couple of issues, I bet by the time they are done it will solve your problem!
