Default Anybody have FM reception problems w/aftermarket radio (more)

The previous owner had a Kenwood deck, which I had replaced with an Eclipse 55040 CD/Tuner head unit.
Since then, the FM reception has been terrible. I definately expected better out of a $600 radio. There were no problems with the Kenwood's FM reception.

I replaced the amplified antenna adapter thinking the old one was bad, with no change.

Has anybody had a problem with Eclipse or other radios?

Default I have a Kenwood head unit and the FM as well as AM reception is erratic . .

I live on Long Island, so it is not like I am very far from any of the stations I listen to. AM for the most part is aweful and FM is about an 80/20 proposition whether it will be listenable.

I have been told it is the Audi antenaes in the glass that is the problem. Who knows for certain.
