Fuzzy AM radio reception

Is there a way to trim the antenna? Or do I need an upgrade?

My reception sucks too. Turns out the antenna system is pretty complicated, utilizing the rear defroster grid system.

Looks like that's puttin it mildly. I'll see if NASA posted any used space shuttle parts on eBay! At least the iPod works pretty good. Thanks

If you have Bluetooth in the X you can always stream WGN radio from your phone instead of using AM over the air.
