Hello, I have a 2005 toyota sienna le with a toyota 16840 jbl radio that has bad reception. I do not see an antenna or antenna hole on my sienna. Is it possible to add a giant antenna or something to my system so I can get non-fuzzy radio? Thanks!

There is an antenna at the front of the car that plugs into the rear of the radio I would make sure that is plugged in and that the outside antenna mast is not touching the fender metal. The antenna cannot touch ground BTW. Here is how the antenna wire should be routed. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
