does anyone know of an aftermarket head unit with similar capabillities... i.e. six disc/mp3, sub/amp hookups and direct fit? i found my RF head unit handles cd/mp3 fantasticly, but the radio reception/sound kinda sucks.

My 2005 LE with the factory radio/6cd changer has VERY poor FM reception. Anyone know if the problem is with the antenna, radio, design, other??? Truck is awesome except for the radio.

Bad FM reception

From my experience, that is almost always a problem with the antenna.
Your truck is probably still under warranty, so I would take it to the
dealer and have them look at it. I don't know anything about how that
antenna is wired, otherwise I would suggest you follow the path yourself
and check for any visible sign of damage.
Good luck. BW

I'v been looking for an after market 6 disk to no avail. I dont think they make them anymore. I guess I will have to go with a changer under the seat or in the glove box. I saw a JVC head unit I liked but I'm not familiar with the brand in car audio. I know they make good home audio.

Firestang--
Pleas take a look at my thread below yours about the RF stereo-- I am having issues getting my Frontier to play data CD's burned through Windows Media Player 10 using wma files. You said yours is great. How do you burn your CD's-- do you use WMP 10? wma files or mp3 files? Which brand of CD-R? I am trying to figure out if I'm an idiot or if there is a factory issue...thanks!

BTW, our FM reception is fine on that stereo, so far...

I now use musicmatch (20-30$, online download or best buy) and burn either regular music cd, or mp3. as far as i know the RF unit wont play wma files. all the discs i have used work, i hope some of this helps. i know it can be frustrating.

I have some wma's i'll try to see if they play. i'll let you know tomorrow.
