I have the Porsche CDR220 head unit in a 2000 996. FM reception is horrible. You think it's the wimpy windshield antenna or the head unit? If it's the antenna, what is the recommended after-market solution? Thanks!

FM reception is not the strongest part in the Porsche sound systems. If the windshield is replaced take a look to the wire on the right bottom corner of the windshield for damage. If it looks OK, the antenna amplifier behind the A-pillar trim is a weak point. The radio unit on itself is not the culprit IMHO, he can only use the signals what he receives.

Thanks RFM. Does anyone have a drawing or photo of the antenna amp mentioned above?
