If you can show them the difference then they would be much more likely to feel like they have to do something....

I've personally wondered if that antenna on the 2006 HCH is tailored to some special radio environment they have over in Japan (different band, or its digital over there or something..) since that's where the hybrids are made.

Good luck,

Thanks Scott. I think that I might try that. I know the reception is much worse than my other vehicles. I was think the same thing that the radio reception of the car/antenna might be set to a different band. If the dealership doesn't do anything I may try a different antenna in the slot. Or I may try a FM signal amplifer with a static in-line filter. I heard that the amplifer works well with a static filter.
