Anyone experience radio problems on the new RT's (2012 R1200RT)?
Mine is not tuning FM accurately (misses some stations on search).
Slightly distorted sound on all AM/FM/Aux input. Sound distortion is present on speakers and bluetooth (direct to helmet bluetooth connections are fine..no distortion.
Weather Band sometimes receives broadcasts..other times not at all.. works in one spot but 2 miles away not at all.
The dealer has powered the radio down to cause it to reset, checked grounds, swapped antennas. They've even disconnected all the add on electrical, i.e. GPS mount, running lights. so far...nothing helps. All of this has been going on since the bike was new.
The game plan appears to be swap to a radio from another new RT. That's OK but at least one of the other new bikes has demonstrated similar symptoms.
