Well not say you have to have a top of the line unit, but that could be part of your problem (cheap unit). What kind of head unit is it, how old is it how long has it been doing this. Your antenna could be bad I replace at least a dozen a week weather it be a new or old car/truck whatever. It could be all kinds of things just. Also what kind of car/truck is it? Could be a cheap fix you can buy antennas, Stereo shop, Walmart (god forbid) , Radio S, Autozone. I saw someone else listed something about a antenna booster or something thats worthless because if you need a booster that should just tell you right off something is not right with the antenna in the first place. Just hook it up with some more detail and I will see what i can help you with.

could be many things. First thing and the cheapest is take a look at your antenna. See if has a good connection to your head unit, look for anything weird around the antenna. Next as stated before the unit might just be a cheap unit. If all else fails there is an antenna amplifier, I never had very good luck with it but it is cheap and worth a try. Good luck

ok they sell digital antennas that you can connect to any car stereo and some you can even connect them to a house tv and they do help alot the reception is very clean they cost around 20 dollars but they are worth it i have one in my car and at home you do need to power them with 12v but if you just connect it to your stereo power it will work fine also they are every thin so you can stick them on your front windshield or on the rear one so they arent noticeble good luck oh yeah most car audio shop sell them ask your local ones im sure one of them could get you one

that's an exceedingly clever thought, yet i'm so over it that I in simple terms ask your self how long it is going to be till now they bypass thoroughly deaf because of the importance of the decibels their ear drums are soaking up.
