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.

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,

Any suggestions, is there a way I can recieve these unpopular stations? D: thankya xxxxxxxxxxx

The pre-sets are mostly am stations and some tm stations that are just static.
I pressed the program button but nothing happens.
How do I set my radio stations?

Read the instructions to set the radio presets in your owner’s manual. Each car is specific and depends on the kind of radio you have. All you need to know are in this book. Enjoy! Best of luck.

I’d like to get the radio stations to come up on my navigation screen like a satellite access would.

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).

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.

Good luck!

He does not speak english and wants me to find out how he can listen to his radio stations from back home. Is it possible to listen to his radio stations using satellite radio or another device?

Does his favorite station also broadcast over the internet?…. Many of them do…..

Look them up here…..

I find it quite annoying and unacceptable, and surprised that the FCC don’t do anything about it.

I also wonder why the FCC lets it continue It certainly is unprofessional and small children should not be subjected to vulgar language nor any of the public that finds it offensive. I would report the station, date and time in a formal complaint to the FCC with a copy to the station manager. The public has every right to expect common decency on our public airways. If some one chooses R rated or X rated in a private setting, but not in public.
