I have a 2008 V6 4dr I have a stock radio/CD player and the reception sucks, what is the best way to improve it, I hear people have installed short antennas does it work and if so what brand will it survive a trip thru the car wash, I have the stock antenna on it now or has anyone put a power antenna on a 2008? It sucks having to take it off every time I take it thru the car wash.
