Good Morning aaronoxf, that is interesting, actually any antenna problem is generally more evident on the MW band, the adapter you mention could have involvement, definitely worth a try, but I would be inclined to comparitively check with another vehicle and system if the same problem is present if you get a chance, some of those FM stations don't really have a lot of transmission power so you could well be chasing a non-existant problem.
Antenna boosters do help with FM reception probably moreso than with AM but once again you need a signal to be able to work reasonably.

Most FM stations are a waste of time listerning to when distance highway travelling here, their coverage is really more or less limited to line of sight.

All the best with your investigation.

Cheers, qldit.
