Radio not working - Fm and Am
Hey
I disconnect the battery from time to time since my battery dies a lot. Anyways, my car radio does not work... The FM/AM doesn't work. If i press scan it's looping through all channels. I can connect my phone to Bluetooth and listen to music I removed the head unit all wires seems intact. I have the 2015 FRS so the head unit is the one with the touch screen. I also have the settings on FRS and I tried to turn off HD radio. I have the shark fin, so I don't know if the antenna is loose or what it looks like lol Any tips?

Sounds to me like your radio's antennae is not hooked up.
I'd suggest you check the connection where it goes into the radio and at the other end at the shark fin. humfrz |

I think there might be a preamp in the shark fin. If that's true and it's not getting juice it would be just like unplugging the antenna.

Yes I suppose it's the antenna as well, but I got the shark fin! I don't know how to remove it from the roof!

I would suggest you heat the edges up with a hail dryer and carefully and gently pry it off. The coil antennae should be attached to the base with a screw. Just make sure its still attached and the screw is tightened down. With some heat and pressure, the cover should stick back down. humfrz |

So, the first place I would check would be where the antenna wire goes into the radio. You mentioned you had the head unit out. Are you sure you plugged the antenna wire back into the radio in the right place? Did it stay plugged in while you were reinstalling the head unit? Is the shark fin antenna OEM or aftermarket ... ?? humfrz |

I have the stock shark fin with the 2015 models, I never touched the radio. I had my car taken in for transmission. So for 2 weeks, I do not know what happened. When I received the car, it was not working. Bluetooth work. I checked all wires, I properly connected everything back. New battery in, by the way check my other thread Click here
