Default 2005 honda accord weak radio reception???

My daughter just bought her first car 2005 accord ex with nav. The radio reception in this car is terrible cd works great and the gps. What can I check for on this unit as far as connections. And how is the antenna wire ran through the car to the antenna I think at the back window?. Does it have any kind of single booster?? Any advice on what I can check.

The antenna cable plugs into the back of the radio. You can check that the antenna is plugged in securely.

Search for v=4yP3YGCtQ_I on YouTube. Once you get the pocket removed under the radio, you should be able to reach up and find the antenna connection.

I attached a pic of the back of a radio with the antenna connection circled in red.

Good Luck.
