The antenna seems fine so I am guessing it is some radio problem. I unplugged all my other electronics to make sure. Nothing else seems to have problems. Unless this is a quick fix I plan on brining it for warranty.
Another thing I noticed is if I hit a pothole like my incident last year the radio will completely restart. Probably unrelated though as this hasn't happened in a long while.
Sounds like your fuse needs to be checked. There is a recurring issue with the fuse not being pushed in all the way. It is enclosed in a yellow plastic surround in the cabin fuse box. Push it in firmly.
