alpine head unit not picking up radio
So ive been messing around with it for a while now trying to get a good signal, when i first put it in it got radio, but a few days later it wouldn't, or the audio would be very faint and full of static. Ive tried messing around with the settings but no luck. The only thing i can think of now is that maybe the antenna wire undid itself. I believe its the CDA something btw. And everything else on it works 100%
so does anybody know whats going on?

Re: alpine head unit not picking up radio
Maybe the antenna came out of the back of the radio? That happened to mine
