Listening to AM Radio in the Boxster -

Not really looking for a solution just wanted to share my experience -

Couple of months ago I installed a new radio (Pioneer) - I listen to AM Sports Talk Radio during my morning commute. There are lots of power lines in my neighborhood, so whether in the Boxster or my wife's mini van there is always AM static until I clear the power lines.

Unless it's raining I usually crack a window when driving...the other day I was driving with my windows up and noticed AM static through out my commute. When I rolled the windows the down the AM Static/Buzz went away. I rolled the windows back up and the static came back. I thought maybe it was my cell phone causing the static but on the drive home I put my cell phone in my backpack/trunk and tried it again. Windows rolled up got static - windows rolled down no static until I got to my neighborhood. Tried it at random times through out the week and result is always the same.

I never noticed it with the stock radio but then again I usually drive with windows cracked down. :dance:
