Who has a stock 2006 radio?
My stock 2006 radio has very poor AM reception. I know some of that is caused by the crummy little antenna on top. I wonder if this radio has an 'antenna tune' adjustment on the back of the radio? I know some of the older style radios had those. I don't want to take the console all apart just to look for that so I'm hoping that someone has one they pulled out already and could check on that for me. It's usually a tiny hole or adjustment screw near the antenna connection.
Thanks in advance...

Look at the TSBs I think one addresses poor radio reception. If I remember it's because a wire gets loose up top in the headliner. But check to make sure the antenna is screwed all the way on and it has good contact (no corrosion etc.). It is possible get up there without pulling the entire headliner down, but challenging. It is actually fairly easy to pull the waterfall front off, just grab onto the A/C vent holes and pull.
I won't even ask about AM radio, since I usually listen to it, too.

My 06 came with the six CD changer and I've had no issues with reception. I did have the four door speakers replaced last year. I use the radio/CD for background noise as I drive and to get some local weather news when I'm on the road. ~107K miles on the clock.
Working better!
I installed one of these replacement antennas,

It's much longer and works much better on AM now.
