Help getting radio stations clear? We never had a problem getting these stations before, with other cars. But, with my wife's new/used 2008 we are not able to get the normal stations. Any easy? way to add an antenna booster? Thanks for any help. Tomm

Those boosters usually just add noise to the sound.

Is it it the stock radio?

You could always just get Sirius

have you checked the antenna connections on the deck? if the previous owner had an aftermarket deck and changed it back the connection might not be good or even plugged in

take out the radio "deck" and there should be a large black antenna cable that plugs into the radio... make sure that it is plugged in

Thought you may predict the next question. How does one get the deck ie radio out. I will know what to look for after I get the radio out! But getting the radio out, I have no clue? Thanks for your patience and help!

Also is there another place I can look to make sure all the connections are good. Like where it may plug into the antenna on the back side window? Where would one look for this connection? Thanks
