i bought a new sony hd radio for the ram.i took the stock one out then wired up the new radio harness to the new stock harness part and also used a new antenna adapter.after getting the thing in it turned on fine,the cd works mint,the usb and aux work and all my speakers work but the radio only picks up 2 stations total and they sound great. why wont it pick up all the regular radio stations as well as the hd ones? i double checked the ant and its working mint.is there some kind of ant wire i was supposed to use? please help!

 

you gotta have the regular antenna plugged in too. HD only picks up a few channels. your regular antenna picks up the rest

 

my antenna is plugged in, the stock wire doesnt go into the new radio so u have to use an adapter which i did but it still wont work

 

Sounds like you got a setting mixed up in the HU some-wheres, check out the manual there should be something you missed. I swapped in an HD radio into my caddy nothing special and picked up everything.

 

Just to clarify you dont need a separate antenna for hd radio

 

Yes i am using the stock antenna hookup im just saying you have to use an adapter b/c the plug is different

 

yep understood, you need an adapter regardless if its HD or not for any aftermarket HU

 

Still need help

 

What kind of head unit is it? Model Number?

 

i fixed the problem the antenna adapter i bought was broken inside, i went to best buy today and got a new one and it worked great. i am happy again,lol
