THEN I FIXED THE PROBLEM!!!
Now I have reception that is as good as every other car radio in this area (including a supertuner I had in a different car). If you read the post from ddalder, you could most likely find the problem and reception issues will be gone.

The antenna system in these cars is quite sophisticated. The solution is NOT to throw the baby out with the bathwater. Catywompi'* system appears not to be operating as it was designed, so let'* put the effort into getting it operating properly rather than throwing it away and starting over.

when I got my car I left it at a place to get new tints, because the ones that came with it were damaged. the person who changed my tints scraped the back window with a blade to take the old tint out. After that my reception got worst. thas when I noticed what had happened. You can tell that the metal got scraped out of the window because the lines look diffrent where the blade was used. If I remember correctly they look more orange.
