Default Will an aftermarket radio improve reception?

I've seen several posts where some of you have swapped in a Pioneer radio. If others have done something similar, I'd be interested in hearing if your AM and/or FM reception has improved. Aware this will differ depending on location - among other things.

My assessment is the antenna is not the greatest so think a new radio will not significantly improve matters. Am not jumpiing to spend some $$ for minimal return.

Thanks in advance.

In my area the reception did not get any better with the new radio!I think the antenna mounted in the rear glass is the weak link.

In my area, I really don't have a reception problem with FM. AM reception is terrible, but I can't remember the last time I listened to an AM station.

Mostly, I have a CD playing.

But if reception is really a problem, would it be possible to put in a different antenna? I think it would look terrible, but if necessary it might have to be done.
