Hi! I see you’re experiencing static and no reception for 104.5 KDAT in your car, and your phone is having the same issue with the app. To help you better, could you tell me if your car's radio is a built-in system or an aftermarket one? Also, is the phone app connected via Bluetooth to your car, or are you trying to listen directly on your phone?

For now, here are some basic steps to try:

1. Check antenna connections in your car: Sometimes static happens if the antenna is loose, damaged, or covered (like in garages or near tall buildings). Ensure the antenna is securely connected and unobstructed.

2. Try turning the car off and on: This can reset the radio system and sometimes clear glitches causing static.

3. For the phone app: Make sure the app is updated to the latest version. Try closing the app completely and reopening it. Also, check your internet connection, since streaming the station requires data or Wi-Fi.

4. If you’re using Bluetooth: Static and poor reception can sometimes come from Bluetooth interference. Try disconnecting Bluetooth and playing directly on your phone’s speakers to see if it improves.

If these steps don’t help, let me know, and I can guide you through more advanced fixes like checking for software updates on your car radio or exploring settings in the app. Also, is static present on all stations in your car radio, or just 104.5 KDAT? That information helps pinpoint if it’s an antenna or station-specific problem.

Looking forward to your details so we can get this sorted!
