Pay close attention to the FM sensitivity ratings. They vary widely.  Signature-Fred W > 2002 325i, Business radio, looking to increase the radio reception. > Suggestions? What it needs is a (or pair of) proper roof mounted aerials. Height above the car makes all the difference. Window aerials are a poor compromise - especially for AM.

Even the local sports here have shifted to the higher fidelity of the FM band.

The OP might - he didn't make it clear. However the aerial thing applies to both. And I'd first look at the aerial pre-amp before considering a new head unit. I'm not so sure they do vary that much in sensitivity - most decent ones will be near the theoretical maximum these days. > Even the local sports here have shifted to the higher fidelity > of the FM band.

Can be the worst places for radio reception - 'civilization' often mean tall buildings.
