mine had and after market antenna installed on the back window from the PO when I bought it, and reception is great. Get someone from soundbox to do the same?

Huh? mine is fine. and it's in the window OEM.


what tint do you have? metallic?

Does the issue depend on which way you are facing? does making a turn cause the problem to appear or disappear??

the PO put a 35% tint on the window (that I am going to change to 20) and it is not necessarily when I turn it just happens on and off in areas of town that dont have good reception. The only problem is if the antenna is the little box under the rear drivers side seat cusion I dont know how to position it to be more clear, and not move.

Two possible problems.

Your tint may be metalic and its interfering with the signal. Solution - remove the tint and replace it with ceramic tint

Not 100% on this one - the PO may not have connected the power cable for the antena modual that's located in the rear drivers side pillar. If the computer does not get power it can't adjust signal strength. There are several postings out there with better description of this issue.
