	it is typical of these Hondas. The antenna is built in to the rear window. There is not modifying you can do. Perhaps an amplifier might work but that might just amplify the noise.

Does it need to be raised? Same here. I got the 05 Accord Hybrid and am pissed to find that its cheap stereo is not replaceable. Climate control and low frequency noise cancellation are integrated. FM stations that I used to get perfectly clearly in my previous car are unintelligible now. I replaced the tinfoil speakers (you can literally crush them in your hand) in the rear deck but it seems that the system only puts out a few watts per channel. I do not find the radio acceptable at all. I need to contact the dealership to see WTF is up with this. It's a $30K car that CAN'T have a decent radio.

	I have the same problem with my 2004. I really believe the radio is OK, its the antenna. GM tried that "invisible" antenna in the windshield quite a few years back and I never liked it either. Nice for looks, lousy for reception.

	my girlfriends 04 Accord is the same way. You can put in another stereo system but you will have to leave the original. The stereo can be mounted in the armrest or glove compartment etc. I would take it to a custom install place and see what they say.

My grandfather has a 2003 Ford Crown Victoria with the antenna in the rear window as well. I don't know how well it works though. As for the GM experiment, my father had an '80 Chevy Malibu with the windshield antenna, but the radio was only AM. I don't remember if AM/FM radios from that period used the same antenna or a typical one.
