This is one of the reasons I've been fond of the stock Mopar units in the
past, but I may have to change my mind WRT the one in my Dakota R/T.
The stock AM radio in my 1970 Fury (30 year old technology!) impresses the
heck out of me-- I was in the RTP area of North Carolina, trying to find
a radio station, and stumbled across a radio station claiming to be WCBS.
I thought, "WCBS is in New York City! What dope are these guys smoking?"
...Then they gave me the traffic report, mentioning places like the
Tappan Zee bridge...
The one in my Dakota R/T gives great sound from CD, and good sound from
the radio, but is really weird about when it can pull in a radio station.
I sometimes have problems picking up 96 Rock in my apartment complex-- and
I live a mile or so from the transmitter. In Suburbia, it's great, but
in town, it has troubles separating out radio stations from noise.
Unfortunately, I've also grown fond of having steering wheel controls
for the radio, and I'm not sure if anyone makes a decent replacement
that talks to the ones on the steering wheel-- anyone found one?
