Default 2008 XKR radio not tuning in

I had my dashboard replaced recently and the radio doesn’t seem to be able to pick up AM or FM stations. I wonder whether they forgot to reconnect the antenna cable. Does anyone know whether that’s a big job to do myself?

apologies for being abrupt. But it is THIER responsibility.
The job is not difficult at all. But if you do not have the experience of disassembly of the centre console you run the risk of marring or cracking the surround or the leather. Clearly the antennae connection has been altered some way.
