Re: radio reception poor, help
+2 on built in antenna, as i cant recall seing any with that feature, and if it were the reception would suck. chanes are it has an external wether it be broken off or never installed is a good valid question. i would remove the head unit and check for an antenna cable. thick black cable plugs directly into a female port in the back of the radio. you can get a fold down antenna from auto zone or wally world that mounts to the boat then has a ball just above the base for easy fold down when not in use. it should pick up as clear as the radio in your car. (same exact principle). my boat has a short antenna about a foot tall and i am considering changing it to one with a 30 inch mast maybe with a spring base so that i dont break it off. but i also like the idea of using a usb jump drive if you have the usb port in the front of the unit. i personally use a 3.5 mm cable to play music off of my phone/ipod. as when im 10 miles out its hard to get signal for fm radio. sometimes i use cd's if i think about grabbing them out of the truck before launching. im almost certain you probaly have an auxport for the ipod connection. and maybe a usb port.
