You need to hook up the antenna booster. It is the blue wire that is connected to a plug that you are probably not using right now. One wire is the dimmer (orange)and the other is for the antenna (blue). Look at this post. factory radio upgrade.. what with all those extra wires?
If you do a search, a lot of time you can find the info. 

If your tint has metal in it, it will diminish your reception.

It's not the tint, it's what gunk007 said. I had the same problem when I installed my Pioneer.

I had the exact problem. I had the tint removed and radio reception is 100% good now. Dealer is the one that told me they had many complaints. The window antena is a big complaint for them the service writer said.

I dont have tint on my car and I had very low quality radio reception. I hooked up the blue wire and all is fine. It might be the tint (emphasis on might) but why not try the blue wire first and if that doesnt fix the problem, lose the tint or get XM
