Mine has bad reception when the antenna is down, but today something broke and my antenna does not go up or down, so it's manual for now. I listen to the radio/mp3 player(in my AUX input), cd player. I use it often. There is a radio station that plays good music so thats why i listen to the radio.

HD radio is digital radio. it is FREE and there are decks out there that have build in tuners.
I know JVC and Panasonic make them with build in HD tuner.


Satellite radio is junk. you get a lot of commercials on those channels.

My hatchback has poor reception while the sedan has very good reception. Maybe the antenna has rusted connections or something.

my car had bad reception until i replaced the antenna. it *was* a power antenna, but when i went to replace the mast, all i could find was the non-power one, so i just pulled one from one of my parts cars. works great.
