fm reception - Toyota Yaris Forums

Does anyone else have poor fm reception, I tried two different aftermarket radios sony and pioneer and the sound quality on fm sounds very poor, some stations sound like I have blown speakers even at low levels. Is there a fix for this I have pretty good brand new speakers, fronts are kenwood components (amplified) and rears are polk audio. The sound quality on cd is awesome though sounds very clear. Maybe an antenna booster or a better antenna.

The Yaris with the in window antenna (not sure about 3/5 doors) have an amplified antenna. So you have to hook up the blue wire to the power antenna wire of the harnesses of after market radio harnesses. If you dont, you get crummy reception. It also is the signal for the amplifier turn on, so twist all three together.
