You definetly have a bad antenna connection or cable. It is a long run from the front of the car to the right rear corner, but something is loose or corroaded.

Hello Everyone,

If you have any tip to fix the following problem with my 1999 RX300, please let me know - I am getting pretty frustrated with this!

For the past year or so, the AM stations have been getting full of static..Now it is to the point that I cannot hear any AM stations..FM works just fine..I hate to put another off-brand radio (moreover I am told the whole assembly will need to be changed)..My Lexus dealer tried tweaking a few things but it is still pretty bad - The static noise does increase with speed/acceleration so I am thinking may be the spark plugs/wires or the grounding???? I am not sure..

Otherwise, I love my RX..8 years..Still going strong!!!!

Appreciate any hint..

Thanks,

I have 99 RX 300 with 6 cd changer and am/fm. The FM radio reception is fine - but the AM radio reception is dreadful -- static any time go near any metallic structure. Any ideas for a quick fix. Replacing the radio with Lexus dealer will cost many many dollars.
