I have a 2010 rav4 and after install for some reason the AM radio has no signal at all. None of the channels work.

Thanks for the help..

Is there a wire that is connected to the antenna that you didn't connect? Most Japanese cars have an AM amp that requires a turn on led much like an external audio amp. Without this wire connected, you will get very poor or no AM reception at all.

same here! I have a z120bt in a '05 dodge durango and even replaced the antenna with an aftermarket one with new cable and all. I've got crap FM signal and NO AM signal. I guess I should stop calling it a "radio" and start calling it a iPod interface.
