I couldn't even get my towns radio station, I replaced my head unit and added a new antenna, but my iPod was getting better reception. The towns radio station was sketchy, distorted and just not very good. I installed this device, piggy backed off the ignition power, and it worked a treat. I'm picking up the local station and a few others from farther away. I think I need a better antenna still, but it absolutely helped.It's about half the size of a deck of cards (cut along the long axis) so it actually fits really well in behind my new head unit.So yeah, for $10 it's well worth it.
