16	N/A - Lurker	EX-L Navi	yes	no	yes	Central Florida	IMHO, Fade-in/out is an issue with sound quality, not signal. I hooked up a Sandisk Sansa to the aux input and the FM signal from the Sansa sounds great compared to FM tuner in the head unit. The same station/song sounds far worse on the head-units FM tuner. Sansa does not exhibit the trebble fade-out issue either.
