Quite honestly, just go with satellite radio, and replace your stock antenna with a stubby black one, because your FM reception won't matter at that point anyhow.

Sure, pay for a service that gets regularly interrupted by other frequencies.

Sorry, I can't help you. My stock antenna and newer stubby antenna work fine. I had previously hear some of the stubby antennas had distance reception issues.

Hi, thank you for reaching out. I'm very sorry to hear this. We suggest having your dealer inspect this concern if you have not done so already. Please follow up with us if you decide to have your vehicle diagnosed by your certified FCA dealer, as we would like to have this documented and have a case escalated in your behalf so a Case Specialist can work with your dealer to help find a potential solution.

MIX TAPE! or at least MIX Thumb drive? I did the taller of the two stubby antennas and did lose a little FM reception. I have 1 year of XM it was cheap but will not renew.. If you have a collection of music on your computer, just load them on a small thumb drive put itinn the 2nd USB port in the bottom of the center console. I have 275 Songs on mine. Always something to listen too. I have the 7 inch display, but works with 5 inch display as well.

I don't have any FM stations worth listening to so I purchased the year of XM for $99. I'm going to relocate the antenna in the wheel well, but at the moment it's just disconnected. I put a badge there and I'm happy.

Which brand/model of stubby antenna do you have?
