There are things called antenna amplifiers which can go inline to boost the signal of the antenna. You can get them from Radio Shack.

I know the 06 Z's have the antenna amp built in. I know when I replaced my headunit, I just plugged up the antenna....The signal was horrible,,,,I searched around these forums and found out you have to also connect the power antenna as well..Now my signal is very, very strong...

the "JDM" antenna is the product name the vendor uses, they claim that it is from JAPAN.
