    I actually have 2 questions.
    1 - The antenna did not come with my truck and I bought one on Amazon and it sounds like the old AM radio (crappy signal even local stations). Does anyone know the original antenna for a 2015 SR5?

    2 - Is there a way to listen to the FM radio and still have Maps navigation (on phone) through the speakers?

    Thanks in advance,
    Mark

    I'd buy a better antenna, sounds like its a reception issue, my stock and second antenna both suck and the radio constantly is going in and out of "HD" regardless of station.

    FM + phone is a no. Your can only select one input stream for the factory radios. There may be an aftermarket headunit that allows for such a thing but I can't advise.

    Depending on your preferred radio stations, many of them have web streaming through an app (iHeart Radio and similar). Stream your FM and have your map guidance both coming from your phone?

    Oh.
    I know that struggle.
    Trying to get mine to use CarPlay has been a struggle.
