I finally figured out why I was getting an intermittent ticking static sound from my radio. It's because I had my cell phone on in the car!

I didn't get the connection between the two until I had my cell phone near a radio in my house, and the same ticking sound happened.

I just saved myself a trip to the dealer for this diagnosis. --
