Hello everybody. I am still driving my 2010 SHO (125,000), but haven't been here in a while. I wanted to post this for anyone who has crackling on AM radio when going over bumps or road cracks. I turned on the AM radio and tapped on the round snap connector just to the passenger side of the high mounted rear brake light assembly on the back glass and that was it. Moved it around and much better. May bend tabs to get a tighter grip or even use bit of aluminum foil to "pad" it. 10 degrees here, so it will wait for warmer weather.

Additional places to check are the radio connection behind the passenger "kick panel/carpet". And the antennae module above the rear headliner, by the back glass on the passenger side. Which is where the black wire with the snap connector comes from. Lastly, there is a module below the radio and behind the media controls, which is a bit harder to get to. No idea why only AM was impacted.
