Honda Odyssey poor radio reception
I have a Honda Odyssey that has very poor radio reception. No one at
the Honda dealership can correct this problem. What are my
alternatives?
I have owned many Hondas in the past and they were all very
satisfactory. This Odyssey is driving me up the wall. Seitz235

I have found that many, if not most, Honda and Acura models with
integrated antennas in the windshield (front or rear) have poor, or
below average receptions. It is not in all areas, surprisingly, and
there are some exceptions, but this is what I have experienced. Acura
told me that there is a TBS on some models (not sure if the Ody is on
it) but there is nothing to do. (i.e. acura/honda will not help)
I have tried everything from trying out 4 different head units, to an
FM booster and the only thing that helped me was installing a "roof
mounted" antenna. I am now the only RSX with a "roof mounted antenna".
Yes, I stick out like a sore thumb, but I have clear reception!

This is not new. My 1974 Mazda RX-4 had an embedded antenna wire in the
windshield and it was crappy too.

The application of metallic window tinting film to the windows will
cause this problem. The best reception will be achieved with an
external antenna.
