Default FM Reception Problem

Hey guys, need some suggestions....I have a Pioneer deck and put in the BT Amp and speakers (see sig). When I took out the HK Stock head unit and replaced it with the Pioneer I simply plugged the antenna into the antenna port but got no reception. Is there something I should know? Is it an interference thing with the amp?


Before the pioneer deck and amp install, I was getting great FM reception. Now I get absolutely NOTHING. Just static.


What should I do to troubleshoot this?

Bt amp does not impact FM reception . Either pioneer hu or antenna is the issue.... open fairing, check antenna connector. If pioneer came with the famous yellow wire, hook it up to test. Wire will impact FM negatively but just test. Then go back to the stock sweep...
