    AM, FM, satellite, GPS, WiFi, cell? It’s been years since I played with adapters. Regardless my best success with bad reception is upgrading the HU.

    After market or stock radio??

    You have something going on!!

    Just what antenna do you have now?

    All the connections clean and tight.

    I doubt a booster will fix your problem if your still in Orange County.

    Different if your 100 miles from the nearest radio station.

    Your problem is in either your radio or the antenna.

    Is this a new to you Truck ?? Just how bad is the reception only 2 or 3 stations ??

    A bad antenna or a poor connection will give poor reception .

    I have never had a problem with any of the factory Toyota radios

    You could try a booster I doubt it would help.

    Best of luck!
