Strike Three - Crappy Stereo System

They have replaced the stereo (twice), the rear window, the cable connecting the stereo to the rear window, the antenna amplifier and still, the stereo has lousy signal reception. Are there any after-market accessories one can buy to further "boost" the quality of the antenna reception, or should I just stick a potato on top of the roof?

I'd like to put in a new radio, but I have the voice control and phone option so I don't know what functionality I'd lose, not to mention those cool steering wheel controls. Any thoughts?
