AM/FM Radio Antenna?

[BrandonC_OK]

My new to me 2005 AR230 has a cheap aftermarket radio with horrible reception. It does have bluetooth so that is an option. I looked underneath the radio and nothing is plugged into the antenna. I can't find a cord with that plug available. What was the original setup for the AM/FM radio antenna? I found a flat two wire cable that appears to have the end removed (like an old TV Antenna wire), not sure what that would be used for.

I see a few options: 1 - a universal under dash style antenna, 2 - a flexible antenna I could mount somewhere on the port side, probably in front of the windshield and 3 - wet sounds had an antenna cable with a electrical connector on the end that I'm assuming you would attached to something metal on the boat (might introduce noise).

I don't need much so no need to try and mount anything on the wakeboard tower.

That’s what the broken wire looks like. Thanks!
