Whats the deal with the factory radio not tuning in when car first started?

[sphillips91]

When I first turn the car on in the morning the radio is just all static/fuzz etc. w/e No matter what station I switch it too its like its not tuning in. The antenna is up.

After a minute or so it comes right on than no problems the rest of the day. Only after it sits overnight it does this. I will be replacing it with a better system of course just wondering what the problem could be here?

You could be gettin interferance in the location you park your car everynight. Does it work in that spot, later on in the day?

Yah it works fine its just in the morning or when the car has been sitting for an extended period of time. It also did this when I started the car up to test drive it when I bought it 70 miles from my house.

Hm. Does the power antenna work, or is it just "up"? It'd do this while raising the antenna, but that sounds too obvious. Otherwise, the radio might just have a glitch. They're cheap on eBay.

My antenna was stuck up permanently but the motor still ran for a while trying to put it up when I turned the radio on (creating static). I disconnected the motor wire.
