Anyone else have issues with getting local radio stations to come in clear? I have several that my 22 ES picked up fine but my 25 ES they are staticky. Can the Dealer do anything about this?

Have you had the windows tinted? The antenna is the wire grid at the top of the rear window and can be affected by some tint films.

When I was at Chevrolet, the radio reception issues included methods of "antenna trimming".
The TIS (Toyota Information System) diagnostic flowcharts all lead back to "replace head unit".

I had a rear dashcam installed in my previous (‘14) ES. Immediately I found interference with the AM stations on my radio. This was finally solved by rerouting the cable between the rear and front cams where the excess was coiled up in the C pillar.
