Sounds like that could be a loose connection behind the radio. Plus you should also try to make sure the fuses underneath the hood are secure. Plus welcome to the Site.

I get some feedback, just noticeable on XM, lower volumes, like on talk radio. Not too annoying, so I am fine with it, for now.

I get a lot of static noise in speakers when the radio is off and turn signal, or seat belt alarm come on. I took it to the dealership and they replaced the radio. Didn't do it for them but it has never stopped for me. It is a little annoying but I have just come to accept it. It also make the same noise when accelerating with radio off. Kind of like others have described a little whiny static noise. Let us know what they come up with.

As for getting a car at the dealership, I have dealt with 2 different dealerships and one gives a loaner if it is just for the day and a rental if it is overnight. The other gives a rental if it is overnight only.
