No FM or AM radio
All of a sudden I have no radio reception. It just scams through every station and is nothing but static. My bluetooth and xm work just fine. Help, it's making me crazy

What year is your Equinox? Does it still have the factory radio installed? It's possible that the antenna somehow became disconnected from the back of the radio.

No, you'll need to remove the radio to check. Before you do that, look on the roof and make sure your antenna mast isn't damaged or missing. That seems much more likely than the antenna being disconnected from the back of the radio, especially if you use drive-thru car washes. The mast is more important for AM/FM reception. The satellite radio may still function without it, but your regular radio reception will be extremely poor.

No FM or AM radio
I have a 2016 Equinox as well...the radio worked fine at first but the last few months my AM stopped working and now my FM stations only work if i am close to the radio stations...i checked my radio antenna and its fine...can i just replace the tuner box with out replacing the Navigation as well...and would i need a special code if i just replace the radio ? and does it matter if i have the pioneer radio package? I am at a loss?
