Default Any fixes for lousy FM reception?

I don't have metallic tint and the rear defroster works. The FM reception in my S is quite bad and it cannot pick up many stations which my A4 has no trouble with.

Default XM doesn't work in my driveway

The service is nice, but the dead spots near trees are annoying.
