Noob 2000 GS 300 Owner :)

Just got my first GS 300 today for $17,000 with 70k miles on it.
It comes with Maya Maido III 20's.
Based upon my first experience with this car, I must say that it has been one of the best cars I've ever driven personally. The ride is so smooth and the handling is great.
One problem for me though is that I can't find the antenna. Not sure if its built in or something, but my reception to radio stations is crap. But other than that, this car is great, and I love it with all my heart

I believe is built in to the rear window, perhaps the shop who install the tint, either scraped it or the tint material is causing the bad reception

Our cars have hidden radio antennas; probably built into the rear window.

I had an aftermarket HU and had the same problem, with no tint. Check to see if the unit is actually hooked up to the antenna, otherwise it could be the tint.

I'm not much of a DIY guy, so far all I've done is detailed it a bit. I've yet to give it a good wax
