Default Radio question

So I can't figure this out so I will ask the great people here. My 2008 jk 2 door has the standard radio and today the fm part started skipping when I hit a bump at first I thought it was just the station I was on but it did it to whatever station I changed it to any ideas. Thanks everyone

That's what I would check. Or the antenna loose on the base. If it also happens when not playing the radio, like CD or aux, then it would most likely be a loose ground. But if it's just radio stations cutting out over bumps then I would check the antenna connections.

Or a loose connection somewhere. Might be time for an upgrade.
