CD is fine, only checked FM which sizzles and of course that is using a empty freq for the XM Roady XT receiver. AM, never use, but just tuned in, and no sizzle with brakes, but engine whine is real bad.Originally Posted by etlsport

Greetings, Earthling. We come in peace... Never mind "Paris to Dakar", the VehiCROSS looks ready for the Martian desert.

If it was necessary for the shop to remove the interior panels in the cargo area (which it sounds like it was if the antenna was disconnected at some point), it's possible that the connector for the noise suppression filter didn't get reconnected when they were putting things back together.
In the ground distribution section of the electrical troubleshooting manual, a white connector (# R-22) for a noise suppression filter is shown as being located at the "center of rear roof panel, behind trim panel".

think you might of just hit the nail on the head. page 201-11, plate 72 in the manual shows it. Thanks again

sorry, i havent been on all weekend (i got a condo in winter park and went boarding all weekend)...
looks like you guys have narrowed it down very well...
one thing we always do to find sources of electrical problems with audio is slowly 'debuild' your system until you are back to the most basic possible (it can be a pain but it targets the problem exactly)....
it sounds like an antenna ground to me...our ant. is not powered, however, all ant. should have some source of ground... and depending on what they took apart..
my guess is that they disconnected the ground, then sprayed the car, then reconnected and its no longer making a good connection...if you can find where the ground is...you can either sand underneath of it or you can use a 'star washer' that cuts into the paint down to get a good ground...
try to find your ground and see if that helps...
