Default Stock stereo works but does not find Radio channels

Hi everyone,

I hate to get rid of OEM parts but the stereo in the vehicle doesn't work.
CD player works just fine and radio powers up perfectly fine as well but it's just static when it comes to finding radio stations.
It's not the wiring as I have a friend with a Crossfire also and his stock unit works just fine in mine.
We also hooked up my unit to his car and it did the same thing..static!

Is there some easy fix or is this thing toast? I know it was a fuse on the back but not sure what that does.

Thanks!

They are not really repairable except through Becker of North America and they are rude and expensive. It is toast and not worth messing with. You can find another one on eBay, local salvage yard or car-part.com

There is also a few forum members who might wish to part with their OEM radios. Go to the want-ads section of the forum and post a WTB. Good luck!

Thanks guys! I feel like it's time to upgrade to something better anyways. If I can't find a better head unit I might just get an OEM on eBay!
