rice crispy sound

[Jalberdi99]

anybody had this fixed at the dealer? i have a rice crispy sound coming from the center speaker windshiled area that is driving me . i cant pin point the location. anybody has this problem?

Did a piece of cellophane get stuck down in your vents? Is it coming right from the speaker? It's real easy to pop that speaker cover off and remove the speaker if that's what's making the noise.

[Jalberdi99]

dont know if is coming from the speaker, but is coiming from that area. i turned the radio off and still making that sound, but only when im above 40mph

meybe the screws holding the speaker down are loose? Pop that cover off and try tightening the screws.

This PI is being revised to remove the Malibu and add Steps 1-4 to the Recommendation/Instruction information. Please discard PI0055A.
The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptoms described in this PI.

Condition/Concern
Some customers may comment on any of the following conditions:

• Intermittent device operation from one ignition cycle to the next
• Poor static message translations when using French or Spanish as the default language instead of English
• Intermittent clicking, static or audio distortion during iPod® or UMS audio playback
• At ignition ON, the previous radio source, such as AM, FM or XM®, returns to the USB input rather than the previous radio source selection
• The audio source does not revert back to the customer's device after a Bluetooth® call has ended.
These conditions may be caused by a software anomaly.

Recommendation/Instructions
1. Turn ON the ignition.
2. Turn ON the radio.
3. Ensure that some type of USB device is currently installed in the radio.
4. Operate the radio and the USB device in order to verify that one or more of the symptoms described above are present.

Have you had a chance to get your Camaro to a dealership for a proper diagnosis? This may be the best thing to do to pinpoint the location.

Please let us know what you decide to do.
