Replacing Stock Antenna

Hey guys

I'm feeling like the radio reception is pretty poor on my 03 neon.
It does have an aftermarket Sony headunit (previous owner had put it in) so first I want to check the antenna connection.

But on another topic, has anyone fiddled with replacing the stock antenna?
I don't mean just screwing in a short rubber one that makes the signal worse. I mean full mods like a motorized one, or using aftermarket windows ones.

I can tell you from experience that the window mount doesn't get that great a reception. I don't know about the motorized. I went and put a roof mount antenna on my neon.

Do you remember what kind of window antenna it was?
