How crappy is the radio reception on your integra?
 
Mine is horrible. I can barely get 93.5, and when i do, it bounces between the station and pure static. Can't get it at all under ground or under powerlines. Are all integras the same (mine is 96), or is my antenna busted? I just got this car last year, so I can't compare.

Would buying one of these help?

mine works great. does your antenna extend all the way? is the connector firmly in place?

you might not be getting a good signal because of your subs in the car they way you ran the wires through the car might be causing it if you have subs not sure?

Bone stock car, so no subs. Will check the connector. I think the extending mechanism is broken so its constantly extended all the way.

Problem: Poor Reception

Solution: Check Wires & Buy A New Antennae

hmm thats weird. if its extended all the way... must be a connection problem.
new antennas can be had pretty cheap.

Thanks for your replies. Thought it might have just been a problem with older cars. Will go get a new one. Or does anyone have any extra ones lying around? ;)

Mines good, even tho i have a broken antenna.

Mine works fine too but then again I don't have a stock deck.

my stock deck doesn't automatically put mine up when its turned to the radio, it puts it up the whole time :(... so I just left it down, and for staying down I get pretty decent reception!!!

My stock antenna works great for my alpine deck.

That reminds me mine does the same thing I have to find a way to make it go up only when the radio is on. It has been done before I just need to find the article again.
