Radio Reception Problem - Toyota Yaris Forums

The radio in my Wife's 2007 sedan stopped picking up FM radio stations very well. It sound like the antena mast is loose, but since there isn't an antenna mast on th car that can't be the problem. Any ideas???

My thoughts...

I would start pulling the HU out and make sure the antenna it's properly installed. if that doesn't work then it got disconnected somewhere else. That would be a little more work to find out, maybe other members have better suggestions?

Yeah it acts almost like it isn't plugged in, but I don't see how it would have come unplugged. It worked fine up untill a week or so ago.

I would follow this suggestion...things move out of place over time. It wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility that something wiggled loose. The care has been on the road a few years now.
