Antenna reception

[HunterStang]

Has anyone noticed that they are getting bad reception for the radio? In my mustang I can be in front of the actual radio station and there is still static in the music.

I've noticed one of the am channels I've listened to for years in both my other vehicles and my house doesn't get good reception in the Mustang.

Hardly ever listen to terrestrial radio but when I have, there hasn't been a problem with reception.

I rarely listen to FM in the Mustang. I have Sirius, and other music options. But...I do enjoy talk radio often on AM radio. Terrible sound as we all know. Especially when passing by power lines. I have now started finding the stations on I heart radio, and listening through Bluetooth mode. Perfect sound on an AM station if you listen like this.

Doesn't Ford design the antenna to provide poor reception so owners are motivated to purchase Sirius sat service?

Yes, I find reception to be lacking. Where I live (Reno, NV) the Sirius XM sounds TERRIBLE. My regular FM radio sounds waaaaayyyyy better. When I switched to Sirius, I would always have to crank the volume just to hear it, and the sound quality was poor. My Sirius subscription just ended a couple days ago, and I'm not renewing based on the poor sound quality. I also carry a flash drive with all my iTunes music on it as a backup or for road trips.

When so many people running cat backs, dumpers and axle back exhausts, how do they even hear the radio???

Some of the better exhaust setups have so little drone that the car is quiet while cruising.
