Hey guys/gals. I have some questions regarding radios. I want to buy a new head unit for my 01 Ram 2500. It only has the stock radio in it right now. I'm not looking for some rediculous hi-tech radio or anything. I mainly just want one with a single cd player and the ability to pick up radio stations that are from a little farther away.

My question is what do I have to look for in a head unit that allows it to have these farther ranges to pick up other stations? Is it the watts? I mainly listen to the radio so I'm just looking for good clarity. What are the best brands? Thanks for any help anybody can give me

 

Sorry but you cannot pick up a radio station further than the station can broadcast. Best thing for you to do may be is research and read some reviews on HU's

 

What's HU's? Then why can let's say my dads radio pick up the station but mine can't?

you really arn't going to find anything in the aftermarket that will guarantee a better fm tuner. Most companies just put the tuner in there as an afterthought.. You might wanna trace the antenna wiring in the vehicle make sure it's not pinched or cut in any location. Maybe look online for a factory radio because I can pretty much tell you an aftermarket won't be any better.
