What can be done if the car radio signal is poor?

Replace the car radio head unit. Alternatively, install an external antenna or signal amplifier. Additionally, check the in-car equipment.

Every time I drive and the radio signal is weak, I first check if the roof antenna is dirty or loose. Cleaning it or tightening it sometimes does the trick—it’s that simple. Then, I’ll change locations, like moving to an open area away from tall buildings, as urban signal towers are far less stable than those in the suburbs. If that still doesn’t work, I simply connect my phone via Bluetooth to play music or podcasts—modern car systems support this, bypassing signal issues entirely. During long drives, especially in mountainous areas or tunnels where signals fluctuate, I switch to pre-saved music or mute the audio to focus on navigation. Overall, small daily adjustments solve most problems.
