Why do 2006 Honda radios have such crappy reception?
I drove 6 different Accord EX sedans (4cyl, cloth) and they all had the
same crappy reception of local FM stations. I had rented a Nissan recently...no problems. It almost seems like the station isn't quite locked on the frequency. I've seen this with the CR-V EX's...maybe it's low-quality in-dash changers that are the problem. |

I hear ya bro...I like AM talk radio and it is the worst recepition
ever, almost non-exsistant. There is no excuse for that. If you turn off the motor it is a little better but WTF!!! |

2005 is just as bad in Accord Hybrid.

I replaced it with a manual antenna, $10, and reception improved quite a bit. Bob |

Maybe you guys live in the sticks. My CR-V radio works great in Pittsburgh!

Many modern vehicles have the radio so integrated into the vehicle that it is very difficult to cleanly replace them with an aftermarket unit. John |

True, but within a few months there always an aftermarket kit to allow radio replacement. Worst case I ever worked on was a friend's grand am which had the interior lighting controlled by the radio! We ended up pulling the circuit board from the radio, connected it to the factory harness just to controll the lighting and stuffed it behind the dash I've never seen any hondas that pulled that crap. Replacing them is usually a 30 minute job including making up a harness adapter. |

My Infinitis have both the back window and an antenna whip. My Nissans have the whip. My '00 Acura TL just has the back window wire. There are certain places I go where the Nissans get good reception and the TL gets nothing. |

Honda Civics in the past have used the factory radio to control the keyless entry. |

Speaking of the complaints about current Accord radios... what have they done since 2004? The one in my non-Nav '04 4-cyl is great. |
