Has anyone found a replacement for the standard rooftop antenna which improves FM reception for the HCHII ?

 

No but I have been looking. My reception is horrible. I took it to my Honda Dealer and they said there is no problem and nothing they can do.

 

No, but I had to drill out a bunch of Mickey Mouse antenna toppers to fit.

 

The only antenna that I know of that might work may be the 2003+ Corolla. It looks like it's set up similarly.

is there some sort of amp you could get to get a stronger signal?

 

I tired an FM signal amplifier about two weeks ago with an inline static filter. I had been told that it worked, but what a piece of crap!! One station it made it sound a little better but the station I had the most trouble with got worse. I thought that I create a post about the install, but I couldn't find it. Maybe I forgot about posting it and thought that I really did.

 

The radio in my 06 HCH does great. AM & FM. No problems at all. I don't live in a large metro area, but there must be something that varies between some radio's and others. Maybe its front end overload from local stations when trying to listen to ones a little further out? An amp would make it worse, if thats the case.
