Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

    AM Reception

    Does anyone know how to improve the AM reception on a 2006 GT? I'm a talk radio Junkie and the AM side of the stock radio is the only disappointment I have found in this car. Everything else is perfect. Thanks in advance.
