Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

2 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I like to listen to AM talk radio but the stock radio reception of AM broadcast was terrible with a lot of engine whine. I put in a nice JVC head unit and the AM still sucks, even with the car motor off. I'm thinking the antenna in the windshield is less than ideal for AM reception. Anybody else having problems with this and find a solution? I was thinking of trying one of those flexible antennas you can hide in the dash somewhere.

POST 2Original post

I have the same issue with my Kenwood aftermarket unit. I actually took it back to the shop where I had it installed because it was so bad. They told me that with the focus on Sirius/XM, iPod integration and Pandora, that nobody listens to AM anymore and the manufacturers don't spent much on their AM tuners. Couple that with a bad antenna, and you can't get much AM radio.
