Buzzing when using Sirius Satellite
Got my 2013 a few weeks ago. I have noticed that the front left tweeter gets like a buzzing static sound when using the satellite radio. It is quite apparent when changing stations and there is that lapse of no sound as well as when something is playing and the volume is at 15 - 20.
IT does not seem to be happening though when playing anything off the HD, or a USB.....so to me that would rule out the speaker.
Any suggestions what may be causing this?

I actually had my tweeter replaced by the dealer for this issue. It DIDN'T help. I have a 2012 with this same issue and it drives me crazy because all I listen to is satelite radio. It also gets louder as your radio gets louder. I'm not sure what the solution is. I figured they would have to start tearing into a bunch of shit to figure it out and it wasn't worth it.

It only happens when Sirius satellite is playing for me. The first dealership I went to said it was a " Chrysler defect ". He brought around a new grand Cherokee and it did the same thing

If it is a defect, they need to get a TSB out for this. I assume it is some kind of interference with the satellite receiver.
I don't have this issue at all when playing off the hard drive. I can crank it to 30 and no noise.
With satellite anytime I get around 18 and above it buzzes....and that is a royal annoyance when listening to CNN or ESPN or the likes.

That sucks. You would almost have to narrow it down to a head unit issue, right? Is there a separate external receiver for satellite under the dash somewhere, or is it built into the the head unit?
