    aftermarket fm recep issues?

    so after yrs of no radio in my 99 z3 coupe, I removed an aftermarket blaupunkt that died a long time ago

    I instlld a highly rated and overall well loved , pioneer.


    Now, I have read fm recep can be an issue for some aftermarket units, but what Im experiencing is just about awful..it cant be correct...and this Pio is widely loved

    Install was simple enuf via a harness and quik connects, all supplied by that well known mail order co we all know.

    My blue power amp line is secure to the other blu line......

    what could be going on?.............what could I have overlooked?.......

    I have like 1 station I can pull in...and its not even good.......static, just horrible.....I hear it sporadically only.

    other wise, ie BT etc etc..the radio is normal and fine


    thnx!
    I love sitting down and just driving!

    Probably a dumb question, but the antenna is plugged in right? Big black coax cable?

        Perhaps it is disconnected at the antenna in the trunk? Do you have a power antenna? It's it going up?
