Why so few Radio stations with engine running?? Any fixes?

..... BTW, I listen to SIRIUS via iPhone Bluetooth but do like to get FM as well on occasion.

Can you listen to Sirius and still use the GPS through the dash?

Have not used SIRIUS / GPS simultaneously. But now I want to see how that might or might work.

I have a 2018 RT Limited. The radio doesn't bring in a lot of stations. I've been having this problem since last year.
I replaced the Antenna and it didn't get much better.
The other day I realized that it worked fine when the engine was not running.
Any Ideas as to what I should look for?

I have given up on the BRP entertainment system and gone with a simple iPhone. I plug it into the USB in the trunk and I can get AI am/FM and satellite radio loud and clear. I can also answer my phone through my navigation system that I have mounted on the handlebars. Much less frustration.

I have a 16 RTS and the radio reception ain't good at all. No leds. My 16 Acura MDX has the worst radio reception I think I have had on any of my 80 cars/trucks I have owned. I just think it's bad technology, meaning antenna's. My 03 tacoma with old style antenna picks up stations for miles. Go figure.

I'm running leds all around and still have excellent reception. I'm on a 2010 rt-s. My trouble is, I can't seem to figure out how to change my preset channels. You may want to check your zone setting.

The best fix for the radio you have is never use it leave it off and use your phone blue tooth to your blue tooth
headset in your helmet. You can stream iHeart Radio, Pandora, Sirius XM Radio and listen to any of them
in Living Color "OOPS" full clear Stereo.

I replaced the LED's and it works now. The problem I have now is I replaced the antenna and the stock antenna was better.

Click on fm and you can manually search

Bluetooth earbuds

I'm looking for a communication system that is built into a 1/2 helmet. I know Sena made one, but they don't sell it anymore
