No, the antenna length is already tuned to the wavelength used by the transmitter. It's not a case of a longer antenna meaning better reception. A longer antenna would be better at receiving longer wavelengths (lower frequencies) and thus worse at receiving the wavelength used by the transmitter.
Nah, there's lots of Toyota. The creaky interior plastic bits are mostly Toyota. The non-creaky interior plastic bits are mostly BMW.
I hope someone lets Toyota know about the creakiness! I'm sure they'll get right on it!
