Hi again,
The reception on my stock radio is terrible. When I turn on my waze app on my phone, which I power from the cigarette lighter, the reception gets worse. Do I have a loose wire somewhere or is it something else. Please HELP.
Thanks,
Mitch

Look by the hood hinge in the bottom passenger corner of your windshield. Is that antenna cable connected? Mine is not due to a plug mismatch and reception sucks.

Try to remove the 5V charge adapter from your cigarette lighter. It might be causing a lot of radio noise, especially when the phone needs a lot of current.

The windshield FM antenna has a antenna amplifier, this needs to have +12V feed from the head unit. The antenna amp power feed wire is a thin black or white wire bundled with the antenna coax, and needs to be connected to the proper output on the head unit.
Cheers,
Tore
