[BC] About this HD Radio receiver

[Robert Reymont]

I hope you are not speaking of a 2005 Acura TL.  The windshield 
antenna is gone and replaced by a special little antenna in the XM 
antenna box.  Try and listen to a station a couple hundred miles 
away.... it can't be done.  The windshield antenna in my 2000 TL was 
ok but this little loop antenna in the 2005 is a disaster for 
distance signal reception!
