Just an update...
TJay74 from GM-Trucks.com got an update from the GM engineers on 7/9/14 regarding the reception issues he has been working with them on. They updated his radio with the fix they want to introduce. We do not yet know how this will be acquired by the rest of us:
"Ok the chief engineer emailed me back this morning. They are finishing up the last part of the validation process. He said they are trying to have the update ready at the beginning of August."

radio problems
I have terrible reception in my new Silverado on radio channels I've used for years in my old Silverado's . The radio system in my 2014 Silverado is the pits. I had my first service and told the technician about the radio problem. He said there were already two more recalls in addition to the one I already had and that would probably fix the problem. It didn't fix it and it doesn't look like it's gonna be fixed any time soon according to what I've read . I wish I had my old truck back.

Is anyone having FM radio reception issues with their 2014 Silverado? AM is decent, but the FM has poor range. Stations that used to easily come in on other vehicles no longer come in or have static.
The dealer tried to get technical about radio signals and how they are only good to 40 miles etc. I've lived here my entire life and every other vehicle I've has a better reception range. Not to mention those stations came in fine on the Equinox loaner they gave me while it was in the shop!

I'm having the same issue, I recently purchased a 2014 Silverado and I love everything except the radio reception, I travel a lot and in my 2003 Silverado, stations that I used to receive around 50 to 70 miles away, I can get them in the 2014. I'm on Fort Knox and a station that I used to get in the 2003 Silverado does not come in at all in the 2014 Silverado. Not being able to pick up some of my favorites stations while I'm on the road is a bigger issue than I would have ever imagine (Yes I have XM in the 2014 but it's not the same) I like those on the road stations when I travel.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm waiting to hear back from the dealer... My new 2014 Silverado has been in the shop for over two weeks due to another issue: Weird sound coming from the rear of the truck! Once warmed up, a rattling/vibrating sound occurs when in a low RPM and low speed setting for the current gear under 55mph. It most often occurs between 20-40 mph. Apparently it's a bearing issue in the rear differential. Glad I spent $40,000 on a new truck to have a crap radio and drive train issues. The loaner vehicle they gave me, a Chevy Equinox, has much better radio reception by the way.
I'm going to show the dealer these posts and hope they fix the reception issue. If anyone else is having issues please reply to this thread. I'll let you know how I make out.
