    AM Radio

    Hey Guys,
    I'm sure most of you don't listen to AM, but i have a specific station i listen to every so often.

    Has anyone notice the AM reception is piss poor? It jumps in and out and if anything bigger then my car is around me, it totally blocks the signal.

    I believe there is a TSB out there to replace the antenna on R8s that are getting the blotchy signal. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but call your dealer and inform them.

    My 09 R8 has no problems in the SF Bay Area even in the Santa Cruz Mtns. Hopefully the update will cure your problem.

    Thanks for the tip. My AM reception has been pretty terrible.

    Ah, so there's an update. Interesting. The AM section of my car, to put it lightly, sucks. Glad I listen to Sirius and the Ipod more than anything else.
