    I bought a new radio for the truck. It's the delphi bluetooth with sxm. I have it paired to my phone and it works well.

    However, when I turn off the truck and turn it back on it reverts the source back to weather at the same volume as I was using on bluetooth. Start the truck and it's just a wall of static 90% of the time.

    How do I keep it on bluetooth?

    Mine does that too. I also have the Delphi. I'm pretty sure that's normal.

    I doubt you could have an option to default to Bluetooth source. But have you ever used a source other than Bluetooth or Wx? Defaulting to Wx doesn't seem right unless that was the last tuner source used. Does it have a continuous power supplied where it should? Does the clock retain the correct time?

    Get rid of that radio and put a Kenwood or pioneer in, Delphi just makes big money because they label themselves "semi radios" emphasis on semi, overpriced, 15 years behind the times on features.

    If a brand new radio is doing the same thing, you probably have a short or ground issue somewhere, can't help beyond that, if you can verify that mempower and key power are clean, it may be that your speaker wires are backfeeding into the power loop somewhere
