Hello Guys

I have not been able to get reception FM/AM for years. However thoroughly cleaned the back screen yesterday and all of a sudden i can now get a FM signal!

i know the aerial is inside the back screen but i want to try and bring back an AM signal.

I think it used to work until i had the head-unit replaced about 4yrs ago. Or maybe it stopped working because i tampered with the shaking parcel shelf (caused by the subwoofer in the boot).

What should i be looking for? If i can get an FM then why not an AM?
Can i take out the parcel shelf to see any connections below it or do i have to go through via the boot? any help would be appreciated. thanks

Off the top of my head I'm sure most radios for AM/MW use a carbon rod inside the radio, like a conventional radio.. 99% sure the rear-screen aerial is only for FM.

are you sure the yellow electrical conector is plugged in behind the stereo ?

i changed my head unit and had no radio reception, found the yellow plug was not connected and hey presto it's worked since

the antenna in the back needs power

Following on from this all i can recieve is radio 1 as well as classic fm. So theres power going there its just not picking any other stations up. Could it be to do with the fact theres a SIDC sticker covering the aerial??
