Default Radio Problems

On my 2009 SEUC, after riding about 1/2 hour the radio starts fading in and out, this happens in AM/FM/XM, and it happens where I know the signal strengths are good. When I first start out the radio works fine, but after riding a while it starts acting up, almost like after it gets warm. The dealer said the couldn't find anything wrong or any loose connections, anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Thanks

i know of someone else that had this same issue with his 09 Ultra. brought it to the dealer and got the same answer. got it back from them and same problem. brought it back 2 days later, same answer. got it back from them and same problem. brought it back 2 days later and they swapped it. LOL

Point is, be relentless. this is a $23k investment not a friking toy. make them make it right. good luck
