Hello Fellow Ford lovers,

 

I'm getting a loud static noise(like pugging in amp into electric guitar) out of my speakers even when the radio is off.

No consistency at all, it wont happen for a few days, then I might happen a few times every 5min.

 

I had my roof liner done a couple months ago, could it possibly be my antenna loose connection ?

Might be coincidence, but I was watching my mobile, rested it on dash instrument cluster for about 30min , when it first started happening.(had radio on at the time)

 

Cheers

Nudie.

Early model FG by any chance?

2010, any feed back of what it could be.

the radio stops working during the static noise.

it’s totally random

I got nude just to type this post and now likely have ass prints on the couch...it's aliens

What could it be???

No consistency, totally random, I loose radio some times when the noise is active.

it even happens when radio is off.

My brothers 08 FG had the exact same issue. Went back to Ford to have the ICC looked at when under warranty. Unsure if they replaced anything as fault remained. Got so bad we disconnected the speakers from the ICC and ended up installing a single DIN head unit.

Thank you Spook,

 

disconnecting the speaker, then you installed a DIN head unit ?

did the static noise go then, once installed new unit ?

 

what DIN head unit do you recommend ?

Initially just unplugged the connector on each speaker to get rid of the noise, then installed a Kenwood head unit (unsure of exact model) at a later date

Yes, no more static noises or loud clicks etc after that as speakers now connect directly to new head unit.

As for model, we just chose one that had Bluetooth and DAB+ and also installed an Aerpro steering wheel interface

End result is a similar setup to this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jF_rH2B8Ywc
