Poor Radio Reception (FM)

Post by tcat »

I've had no real issues with my JVC HDR1 since I installed it 3 or 4 years ago. Last week my radio reception dropped 500%... lots of static, stations fading in and out, as if the antenna became unplugged, but I checked, it's not. Where is the antenna, and any wires going to it? I was rear ended the other day (not bad, had the bumper replaced (missed the tailgate!). I wouldn't think there's anything back there related to the radio (but the car was cleaned inside and out, maybe they "hit" something). Just want to check "the other end" before I disassemble to get to the back of the radio again... (what a pain!).

[smilie=boggl3y3dummy-ani.gif] Just shoot me... I decided to look in the manual for "antenna" and notice it's supposed to have a roof antenna... I went out and looked, didn't see it, looked closer, and voila! The guys that washed it must have pushed the antenna in... radio works fine now!
