Not sure if it is just my MME, but the FM radio reception is terrible compared to every other car I have owned. I like to listen to NPR on the way to work and can only get it clear as I approach the city. I drove my sons Ford Fusion Hybrid recently and it was so much better. Anyone else notice this?

Spend 8/mo on Sirius and you'll have no problem.

I'm not sure I've ever used it to be honest. A possible alternative might be TuneIn. A big part of their salespitch is listening to local radio over streaming.

Hmmm... I have a 2016 Fusion Energi and the 22 Mach-E. The Mach-E has better FM reception. I traded in a 2019 Ram 3500 for the Mach-E. The Ram had horrid reception compared to the Mach-E.

FM reception is excellent on my car, sometimes too good.

If you want to share the city where you have issues and the radio station I can check on the reception conditions for you.

I don't think any of the models without the B&O sound system have HD Radio.
Wow that’s crazy for this price range even on select, even 20k cars have HD radio. I only use HD radio to listen to NPR and the their sub channel with Classical music which sounds fantastic

I tried Tuned In this morning and it worked perfect. Thank you!

My experience is that my MME's FM reception is much better than any recent car (Audi stock radio and Kenwood aftermarket in another)

I'd report it to your dealer - but I wonder how they'd test for sub-optimal performance.

Good luck!
