Radio Reception

As with my VW Beetle cars with the rof mounted antenna get horrible AM reception. My 3 door liftback as the same problem. AM reception and some FM is not good.

Any ideas?

at least the Antennae aren't in th rear quarter windows, talk about sucky reception, it got so bad that I had to get Sirius.

but onto the topic, My wife's xA (which has the same type of roof-mounted setup) gets great reception, she gets radio stations close to a 100-mi away.

Have not noticed the problem yet. The only A.M station I listen to is in Toronto, 100 miles away, and the reception is no worse than my Acura was.

Ok thanks. Not sure why I am having this trouble. Maybe I will try a new antenna.

My receptions are not as good as I want it to be. Or maybe it's just me. Most of the time I use my own transmitter and plug it into my mp3 instead of getting the aux from stock which cost like 20X as much.
