So when I bought my 06 it was missing the screw in antenna and had bad reception.. I thought it was the missing antenna and figured it would be an easy replacement

Looking around I figured out that that antenna is only for AM radio, so now I'm trying to diagnose why I'm not getting any reception

And ideas?

 

I disagree with your conclusion that the antenna is only for AM.

I went out to the car and unscrewed the antenna. Using the scan function, it picked out a total of nine stations between 91.5 and 107.1. Most notably it picked out a station at 101.5 with nothing until 107.1.

After replacing the antenna, it found 11 stations BETWEEN 101.5 and 107.1 not including them.

Perhaps you need an antenna?

 

Lol I guess that's what I get for trusting a bunch of people on the Internet, right?

 

But can I be trusted? Hmmm????

 

At 20 dollars I think I can risk it...

 

Just remember my advice is worth what you paid for it, but I swear by the data I presented...
