Wear a suit and bring flowers....

I think some of these have an aerial amplifier so perhaps yours is brown bread.

"Understeer" is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"Oversteer" is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"Horsepower" is how fast you hit the fence.
"Torque" is how far you take the fence with you.

you can get reception boosters, but take out the courtesy light check the aeriel connection up there, then check the connection going into the back of the radio.
But ive come to the conclusion that FM radio is shite, what my car needs is the same radio on the computer, these internet radios are great. No ads just 80s music all day long, and a bit of smooth instrumental jazz at night.

I have an aftermarket JVC headunit. I put my orginal Clarion in for a couple of days last week and the FM reception was terrible compared to the JVC.
