My radio reception has always been kind of poor but now every channel is staticky on my 2010 SHO when I do the bezel diagnostics and signal strength it says am/fm antenna failure anyone have this issue and a fix?

You will have to run through the tests in pinpoint test A.  This results in checking the alternator, grounds, antenna grid, antenna module, antenna cable, and ACM in that order.

Hopefully it is just a ground issue, or perhaps water/grime intrusion into the electrical connectors at the ACM.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!
