Default FM Radio Reception HCHII

I wanted to see if anyone else has been recieving poor FM radio reception. I am not too worried about AM because I never listen to it. I have the Navi system so I do not know if that makes a difference. I mostly listen to the card reader lately but I like to listen to the regular old radio as well. I know there were so reception issues in the non-hybrid version but there antenna is built into the rear window glass so that is understandable. However, with the dumb antenna poking out if the back on the hybrid I figure it should recieve a little better reception. Normal stations that come in strong are very weak, even local channels in the area. I have a small boom box in my basement that cost $20 with a broken antenna that gets better reception. I figure that a $1500 unit should do better than a $20 piece of crap. I took it to the dealer to have them look at it with something else minor. They had the car all day and found no problem with the reception or my other problem. I was disapointed. I informed them that it was unacceptable on a $1500 unit and they told me that I could bring it back on another day and take it on a test drive with another tech to see/hear the problem.
