Has anyone worked out how to improve a 2024 RTL Sea to Sky FM Radio Antenna?

Hi - has anyone worked out how to improve the reception on an RTL S2S 2024 now that it has no external antenna?

If it's anything like the older models cleaning the excess locktite off the connections so they actually electrically connect makes a world of difference.

First, make sure it's hooked up. We've found several Spyders where the dealer never made the antenna connection. It's part of the setup that you probably paid extra for.

Ok, I guess I will search where that connection is supposed to be..

I have a 2016 F3t and tried all the above to no avail - the radio sucks! I did find the best fix. I run the xm/sirius app on my phone. No issues.

The connection we've found unattached is right at the base of the antenna. It takes some digging to access it. An aftermarket antenna seems to help as well. Unfortunately, it does not seem to be a very good system.

I will have a look thank you….
