Question type: General

I have a 2006 Chevy Silverado that

in I get major radio interference where I
do not pick up no radio stations does
anyone have any ideas on how to fix
this or what causes it so I can fix it.
Note that I did punch my radio some

have anything to do with it but maybe?

I would try a different charger. Some chargers give off RF interference.

Do they make usb chargers that don't put off RF interference? And we're would I find one?
