I have no VKool or any other solar films yet. Just wondering if the Borsch antenna that sticks on the windscreen work better than stock, coz like many i dun fancy cutting a hole on the roof.

I have the same problem, Poor singnals in East town & west. I get very good Singal in North & Places in Johor till Desaru for Glass 95 . Dont BLAME the Rain. Is the JDM Set and we have our cars from the same PI.

hmm, i get pretty good signals in the west especially around bukit timah and bukit batok areas. as it is near the transmitting station. BTW, are you using the 12Mhz converter or 10Mhz. I'm using the 10Mhz one. Find it much better than the 12Mhz. I used the 12Mhz one for about 2 weeks when my original 10Mhz was spoilt, I hated it. and managed to get the shop to swap it back to the 10Mhz one. much better. But then you can only go up to 100mhz locally. Not a problem for me as i listen up to 98.7Mhz.

refer http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=79985

check out the videos.

damage will prolly be in the range of SGD2k - SGD3k and you might have to DIY. unless you can find someone to install it for you.

Carpc seems a pricey solution to a radio reception problem. Might as well just change the headunit or get digital radio like lawreo suggested.
