  If your Audiovox Radio displays 'Check Antenna Connection', ensure the antenna cable is firmly plugged into the PowerConnect Vehicle Dock and that the cable isn't bent or broken. Try turning the Xpress[RC][i] off and then on to reset the message. If the issue persists, the Magnetic Mount Antenna cable may be damaged, and you might need to replace the Magnetic Mount Antenna.

  Jack PetersAug 26, 2025
  If your Audiovox Radio audio fades or has static, check all cables for a secure connection. The issue is most likely interference from another commercial or broadcast FM station, so find an unused FM channel in your area. If using PowerConnect doesn't solve the problem, try connecting the audio using the Aux In Cable or a Cassette Adapter. Consider using an FM Direct Adapter if other solutions don't work.
