I have a stock 07 radio with an S2K antenna, my radio has gone out before for about a day or so but this time its been out for almost 2 weeks. I have my stations all programmed but I hear nothing, my ipod works fine tho. So would anyone know what the problem is?

 

hmmm.. try turning the radio on and wigging the S2K antenna.. wondering if the connection isn't mating properly.

can you replace the S2K with your old stock antenna and see if that works?

 

I lost it :T I tried turning it off for awhile and also removing and re-installing the antenna but no luck

 

Stick with the iPod. No commercials and you get to listen to what you want.
I can't remember the last time I listened to the radio.

 

I know...but its good to have it once in awhile.

 

have u checked the antenna plug on the back of the radio?

 

Nope, what is that? How do I get to it?

same step as the tc, sorry couldnt find one for the tc

 

Thanks for the help, i'll give it a try.

 

My radio isn't working still, any other suggestions?

 

having the radio in your car is very important incase of storm emergencies, I know living here there have been a few times where we needed it. One thing you could try is to buy another radio antenna (radioshack, walmart(scosh makes one)) and hook it in if your radio does not work at that point then you know it's the deck, because I doubt it's the s2k antenna.

I would also try unplugging your battery. I could not find a reset button on my stock 07 deck so maybe disconnecting the battery or deck will reset it.

Do you hear noise when your in radio or silence?

bump to get the problem solved.

 

When on radio mode its silent, nothing comes from the stations, but when I switch to my iPod it works fine. I'll give d/c battery a try when I get a chance, its been almost a month with out my radio lol.

 

i'm wondering if power is getting to the amplified antenna (stock, yes we have an amplified antenna). If you can, check the power going to the antenna, it might be no power = no signal. Just a thought to try

 

Cool, where can I check that? Would a fuse be an issue by any chance?

 

the power to the antenna comes from the radio.. so if it was a fuse... then the radio wouldn't turn on..

so.. i don't think it's a fuse.

 

Sounds like one of your connections might be loose inside the headunit itself. Only way to fix that is to replace the headunit.

 

When the dealership forgot to plug the antenna in on the back of my radio, that's what happened to me: static.

 

I've swapped radios in my tC twice and the antenna connector is a very tight fit into the head unit. I'd doubt it would just fall out by itself unless you were working in there. I'd say your best bet is get the radio out and take a look...but it very well could be an internal problem in the head unit. Aftermarket units have a lot better sound quality and generally more features. It must just be time to upgrade.

 

^ Thats what I was thinking. :]

 

I would think it has to be something with the head unit itself only because even without an antenna you will still receive some signals.

Double check that antenna plug-in on your deck.

If that's not it, then take it to the dealership.

That's if you are still covered under warranty.
