No radio Reception

I just put in a new radio (thanks to allans wiring color chart) and cannot get any reception. I hooked up the antenna wire properly, and i can get some very faint voices but the reception is awful, can anyone help?

If the HU is completely installed, then pull it out and check the antenna plug again. You may have knocked it off during the installation. This time check reception while the HU is partially out.

BTW - the antenna is a large black cable with a plug on the end. It is not a regular wire.

If I'm barking up the wrong tree - - sorry -- just ignore this.

what year is your car .. remember that newer antennae wires are smaller than the older cars. So you have to buy an adapter to get fir it correctly.
