Just fitted a new cd player to my car and my radio has never worked. All I get is static.
Just had a look in the boot and everything is connected up and wired as it should be yet I have never managed to get it tune into any radio stations.
Someone told me its because the heater/aerial set up in the rear window is pants?!? I thought it should surely work though.

i had an orion with the same style aerial and it was spot on..you might find there is few breaks in the elements on the glass. look closely and you will see shiny bits every now. if it is that im sure a new glass would sort it.. another thing could be has it actually got a glass in with the aerial?

Mines shocking, i traced the problem to the wire section that goes from under roof lining to boot lit, constant opening and closing of the boot over the last 20years seems to have given it a hard time.
Open your boot and with the radio on and tuned to a known strong station give it a wank around..... I think the aerial amp can also give problems......

In my case there was couple of wires cut broken in the rubber boot between roof and tailgate. Also aerial coaxial was broken.
Now i have good coaxial but coaxial runs under roof lining... so do someone know how much i have to take roof apart so i can change that aerial cable? One option is just take rear part of roof lining out and make connector there because i think that front part of coaxial cable is fine.
