in these few weeks, my car FM reception also not very good.... i guess maybe because of the HAZE?

same problem with our fren here, changed his stock clarion to pioneer then gets choppy radio signal.. i think the OEM clarions and blaupunkts does have low sensitivity but high clarity..

seems like many having this prob. Why are the OEM clarions and blau doing fine? So hard not having radio.Gave up listening to it because so choppy.

kenny : update us after u installed the antenna

Well, even after i changed my Gen2's built-in Blaupunkt radio to an OEM unit, both are still getting excellent reception... I think the antenna plays a major part as my radio (at the time still the built-in unit) got blurry signals when some joker actually STOLE my antenna!

yes, the antenna does play a big part in ur radio reception.. got no reception at all when i took off my friend's waja antenna..

will do, but wait till my fren buy me the antenna .. or i go buy myself.. not tat free lately..

today i try troubleshooting my problem
tried grounding with a better cable the antenna and the Hu, both no difference

but, when i wriggle the antenna jack on the behind of HU, i try connecting it just a little instead of all the way in, the reception got better and i almost got 100% reception 0.o. but move the jack a little bit in then gone back to ori problem. wats the problem >.<

Could be due to the placement of the antenna? Somehow the 100% reception was when the antenna's angle was perfectly placed within excellent radio range...

nope not the antenna but the antenna's jack instead =.=
when i wriggle the jack in and out, there is a point where i get 100% reception

hmm apparently the antenna connector the isnt making full contact with my HU. i just bent the part that is stick out of the connector a little to make contact, later i drive around and see whether ok or not

yes, that was my first question to u.. hope it works..

apparently it does =D
my problem is now solved
getting pretty clear reception already

update

apparently the problem is caused not by antenna
but the player itself got problem
that day, because i was so fedup with the problem, i decided to open up the JVC player
found out that the antenna jack solder point cracked. i soldered it up back and now getting crystal clear reception
