Many Hilux owners experience weak radio signals o r poor FM/AM reception, leading to static, signal s, o r difficulty tuning into stations. This issue can be caused by a faulty antenna, interference, o r weak reception in certain areas.

A common fix is replacing the stock antenna with a high-gain o r longer antenna, which improves signal strength. Installing an antenna signal booster can also enhance reception, especially in rural o r mountainous areas. Some owners find that cleaning o r tightening antenna connections helps reduce static and improves clarity.

If reception remains poor, upgrading to an aftermarket infotainment system with a better tuner can provide clearer audio. Switching to online radio o r music streaming services through Apple CarPlay o r Android Auto is another alternative for uninterrupted music and news.

For better radio reception, it is recommended to check antenna connections, install a signal booster o r upgraded antenna, and consider streaming services if FM/AM quality remains weak.
