Radio station reception

When I'm not streaming bluetooth audio via my Mediabridge, I occasionally listen to the "Radio" like a caveman. My local station reception is rather poor.

The MID Pixels were repaired at one point - think the first place to check would be the physical coax plug in the rear? Or is it even there? Basic audio, High Cluster, no DSP amps or anything really in the rear compartment.

A lot of radio stations have apps that allow one to listen to their station on your phone. I would think you will be able to stream that to your mediabridge.

upon further reading with other models - it appears the "BMW diversity antenna" is susceptible to defroster interference and contact oxidation over time.

I'm willing to bet since it's been like 1ºF outside lately - I had my rear defroster on when trying to listen to Sean Hannity raise my blood pressure the other night.
