Default Kenwood x998?????
I installed my x998 today and I have no AM/FM. It's not even on the display when I scroll through the source menu. All of the other sources (CD, AUX, USB Front & Back......) show up but not the Tuner.


Some info.....


1......I have no amp installed at this time. Just the x998.
2......Its installed on a 1988 FLHTC.


Is it possible that the newer HU and the older antenna are not compatible? Yes the antenna is plugged into the HU.


Thanks Chad

AM & FM are in the HD Radio source. Doesn't matter if the antenna is plugged in or not. Once in HD Radio press the up arrow for AM-FM. Press the down arrow for seek mode.

Thanks Bertk! I was making it more difficult than it needs to be.

Thanks Chad

It's working great Joe.


I'm not very good with technology. My VCR still flashes 12:00.
