I feel you man...if it makes you feel any better, I had a pioneer in my car for a few days and the AM reception was worse then with my Kenwood.

You can always go back to stock

you didn't mess with anything in the car did you? like the rear pillars next to the glass?
i didn't have any radio reception, and when i did, it was horrible, turns out, the wire connected to the antenna located in the rear pillar by the rear glass was disconnected.
just a thought, but it doesn't really sound like your problem.

Yeah, there are a few places where the antenna can come loose...back window, right kick panel, and behind the HU. These are the first and easiest things to check.

Yep, I have a Kenwook KDC-v7022 and my FM sucks, good thing I have Sirius, so I don't listen to it much.

I had the place that installed it take a look at it again... since for some reason there is a ground issues with the front speakers... but a ground loop isolator fixed that.. Thank god for the keg..
