Just put a Kenwood Excelon DNX994S double din navigation head unit in my 2017 LX. Everything went smoothly but the FM reception is terrible. Even strong stations in every other vehicle are full of static in certain areas. I used the metra harness kits and antenna adapter. I have verified power to the wire that runs with the antenna. Is there something else I am missing?

It sounds antenna-related to me. Barring any other suggestions; I'd double-check that connection and make sure the adapter is the correct one. For broadcast radio; most any kind of antenna can be used for test purposes.

I'd also make sure that the settings in the HU are correct (digital/analog/etc).

Good luck.

FM reception in my stock ex-t is terrible too. Most likely a bad antenna design.
