When I get about 15-30 miles out of the city I don't get hardly any radio reception. It's just the factory cd player also its not the bose system. Anybody else have this problem, my last 4 vehicles have had no trouble.

Do you run any GPS or electronic device near the radio receiver?

My garmin GPS Streetpilot is near the radio receiver in the truck, and I noticed that it will affect the range of many stations in the area.

If I turn it off, the station in question will instantly come in clear.

Nope I don't run anything close to it, talked to the dealer yesterday cause they have it and they said they could not find anything, so I told him it must be a cheap ass radio, and the dealer chuckled.
