question about car audio

[**rOb**]

Well i replaced the old stock deck with a Alpine CDA-7839, everything works fine but i cant pick up any FM stations. So im pretty sure something is wrong with the antena but can anyone give me clues or ideas to fix this.

Thanks

double check that you hooked up the ant. wire right. And then make sure everything is taped up together and no wires are touching each other.

BTW- Is your ant going up?

[zero.counter]

Make sure that the remote lead blue wire (if it does not have an antenna lead) is hooked to the antenna for that current to pop it.

Hmm well the ant. is goin up, but it wont pick up anything. when i scan nothing comes out. could anything else be wrong with it?

thanks
