NOTE:

part numbers 05064002A* and 05064020A*.
SYMPTOM/CONDITION:
The vehicle operator describes extreme static over the satellite radio audio (only when in the satellite mode) to the point of almost completely covering
the intended audio. The static occurs at vehicle start-up, or the first time the radio is put into the satellite mode on a key cycle. The static will last the
entire key cycle. This issue is completely intermittent, and in the next key cycle, operation may go back to normal.
DIAGNOSIS:
Due to the intermittent nature of the condition, demonstration of the issue is difficult. If the vehicle operator description is similar to the
Symptom/Condition explained above, perform the Repair Procedure.
