Very Poor FM Radio Reception

[PaulE]

To answer the original question, the stock CDR 23 radio in my 2003 S has had marginal FM reception since I bought it new compared to other cars I've owned during this time - Hondas, Acuras and BMWs. I got a new windshield in my Boxster a little over a year ago. If I had known about the newer antenna amplifier at that time, I might have considered doing the upgrade.

I'm not clear, what does the new windshield have to do with the amplifier?

The Pelican forum link provided by pomerlo discussed removing a sun visor and interior trim around the windshield to change the antenna amplifier. When my windshield was replaced, all of that was removed as part of the process.
