Default Antenna and reception sucks, so does the heater on my new EG anyone else??

I just got my new EG https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=739023 but i have ran into 2 problems. For one the antenna sucks on this car along with reception, i can't get stations i used to get with my EF with the same stereo. Anyone know how to fix this?? also the heater doesnt work as hard as my old one did in my EF i know its bad to compare, but i have to when its kinda bad...anyone know anything i can do??

Maybe the blower motor is on its way out? My gf's EK has shitty reception also. I know it's not the radio cuz it's the same one I had in my Bimmer and it worked really well. I'm still looking for a way to resolve the reception issue.
