Angry Radio reception stinks

Any one have any ideas? My owners manual on the cover shows a car with a small antenae comming up from the middle of the wind shield molding.

First,
the pic you see is of a Eurospec setup - and I can tell you from first hand experience there's not much, if any, improvement.
Second, make sure that all connections are made. There have been issues (search various archives plus TSB's) on antenna connections in Boxsters.
Third, window mounted antennas simply don't have the capability of a big stick antenna, sorry to say.
Other than that, turn the big **** to the left & listen to the engine music!
Good luck,
J

That is for a cell phone.

Many years ago Becker was thinking of having an external antenna but there was no demand. Jeff

Jeff,
You're right - I forgot that I was driving PCM equipped cars. Adding an external antenna just wouldn't fit right with the Boxster....
