FM Radio reception/sound quality?
I have noticed that the FM reception and sound on my 2010 Touring GLS Sport is not as good as on my old Saturn Ion. CD/MP3 sounds terrific, while the FM quality is definitely poorer than on my last (and only other) car. FM is acceptable, but just not as good as I am used to, and I am not picky. I also tend to hit a few more 'dead' spots than my last car.
A couple of questions: 1. Has anybody else noticed poorer quality sound and/or reception via FM on their ET? 2. Is there a 'higher gain' antenna that I can use to replace the current one, or some other way to improve FM reception and sound? As mentioned, the sound is awesome using CD or aux, so I am hesitant to want to replace the deck. Thanks! PS: Loving the ET for the most part so far. Third month now. |
I think the antenna is good. Also by being mounted on the roof increases the range. I noticed it also had side wires to increase its electrical length.
By being on the back will give you more forward reflection. Now, if you had a shark fin that will definitely decrease the range and reception. |
One thing to consider is that the stereo, iPod, CD settings (bass, mid, treble) are all different for each source. You have to adjust each one separately.
