What amp did you put in. That’s probably the culprit.

Do you have a hidden (in the fairing) antenna or stock antenna at the rear of the bike? I never had a problem with my tm400 and boom hu on my 2018. Check the antenna plug also.

There are several different solutions depending on what you want. I run a tp also and just took my antenna off. I just don’t listen to fm. I have several memory sticks that I download music too and listen to it. I have seen where people have relocated their rear antennas under the seat, inside the fender ext to retain fm but I have never tried it. You may also try a stubby antenna to see if you can retain some fm from it.

Yup, flip that whip antenna backwards and run it under your seat. I did mine and it works fine. There's a youtube video showing how its done.
