SUBJECT:
Radio Speakers "Pop" When Playing a Cassette with Cellular Phone Powered On in Vehicle (Use Exterior Cellular Phone Antenna)
MODELS AFFECTED:
1991-1994 Saturns equipped with AM/FM stereo and cassette player
CONDITION:
An intermittent popping noise from the radio speakers may be heard when playing an audio cassette with a cellular phone powered On and the cellular
phone antenna in the vehicle. Condition may occur, with phone powered On, whether or not a call is taking place.
CAUSE:
The antenna on the cellular phone is too close to the radio causing electrical impulses from the cellular phone to be amplified in the radio. This occurs
when the cellular phone receiver switches cells or power levels.
CORRECTION:
Inform customer that an exterior clip-on or window glue-on type cellular phone antenna instead of an interior cellular phone antenna must be used.
Exterior mounted cellular phone antennas are available from cellular phone retailers.
