If that is the case, the best way to accomplish this is to connect the radio to an outdoor antenna, so any radio with the ability to connect an external antenna would be a decent 'first try' at this, If there are 'challenges' like stations near the frequency you are trying to receive, selectivity may be an issue, and ultimately different radios will have different sensitivity figures which will impact what you can hear, but I would strongly suggest the FIRST option is to use what you already have, and try attaching a real antenna (like a TV antenna) to the FM input and see if that doesn't do the trick. Once you have tried that, you will at least know what the issues are and you can provide further details about what worked and what didn't so you can start asking more specific questions. Some people may try to tell you 'this can't be done' but that is NOT true, Good luck,<br><b>References : </b><br> Given that 90 miles is not that far for AM or SW, I’m gonna guess you are looking for hints to get FM stations.

]]> Comment on how do I get streaming radio on ipod with no internet? by crnd http://www.whksradio.com/streaming-radio/how-do-i-get-streaming-radio-on-ipod-with-no-internet/comment-page-1#comment-4254 crnd Mon, 16 Jan 2012 09:47:59 +0000 http://www.whksradio.com/streaming-radio/how-do-i-get-streaming-radio-on-ipod-with-no-internet#comment-4254 You don't stream anything without an internet connection......by definition, streaming requires one. A 4G iPhone (which connects to the internet through wireless broadband) could do it, but not an iTouch. If you just mean connecting what's already downloaded on your ipod to your stereo, there are two ways to do this. The cheap way is to buy either a FM transmitter (which transmits a low power signal to an empty channel on your car's FM radio) or an adaptor that plugs into a tape player (if you even have one). Either of these solutions can be had for under $10. You won't be able to control it through your nav screen doing it this way (control from the ipod only). http://www.amazon.com/Premium-Automobile-Charger-Adapter-Transmitter/dp/B0030LSFPS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1325830590&sr=8-1 The more expensive way is to get an ipod integration kit from Lexus. This costs several hundred bucks just for the part, then more for a dealer to install it. This will provide the direct integration into the stereo/nav screen that you seek. http://www.lexus.com/models/RX/accessories/interface_kit_for_iPod.html Good luck!<br><b>References : </b><br>Own a Lexus IS.
