    First remove the antenna and see if it makes it WORSE.

    Are you talking about AM, FM or SAT......or all audio sources ??

    Is that all AUDIO sources....like CD and Bluetooth and AUX.......
    Or just all RADIO sources ??

    If you have static on strong nearby FM stations and SAT when out in the open, you may have a problem that a better antenna will not fix.
    Like a bad antenna cable, bad cable grounding or a bad head unit.

    If you are nearing the end of your BTB warranty, you should mention this to your dealer.......even if they don't have a fix for it right away.
