lekmedm Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 I've just replaced the factory radio with a nice Kenwood and ran into a problem. It's not pulling in any radio stations. The CD/mp3 business works fine, but I don't know why the radio doesn't. The antenna is plugged in the back for sure. Any ideas? Is this a known problem? I have the angled antenna (not power) over the driver's door on a 1998 Legacy Outback. TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tunered Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 my only thoughts on this would be that you need a seperate ground for this radio,maybe the antenna is not a ground[most are but some not],try a ground from the case of the unit to a known ground.

lekmedm Posted November 9, 2005 Author Share Posted November 9, 2005 You know, just a few days ago before I replaced the radio everything was working fine. At one point out of curiosity I tried pushing in the antenna to hide it so I could, for example, take the car to a car wash. It wasn't too happy going in, and I didn't want to force it, so I pulled it back out. It moved in and out less than one inch. I guess I noticed the next day that I couldn't get any radio stations on the factory radio. I thought something might have happened with the radio, but I'm getting the feeling that something's up with the antenna. Anyone have any ideas, or am I just going to have to take that antenna apart?
