FM reception with IPod adaptor
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
My 98 XK coupe with a stock sound system has an "iSimple" brand IPod adaptor. It works well but I have no FM or AM reception. I have no knowledge of how it was installed or what principle it works on but it appears that it plays through an FM tuned station as it works best on a specific frequency. I suspect the previous owner or installer disconnected the antenna but no way to know until I look Guess I'll have get at the back of the radio to find out what's up with it. Before I do that I am looking for advice from others who are familiar with these issues or who may have the same problem.
Thanks

Got around to taking a look at the back of the head unit. By the way, thanks for the video instructions on getting the console out. Very helpful. Turns out the antenna was plugged into a spliltter plug coming from the Ipod adapter. I suspect it should not have affected the signal. However, when I unplugged the antenna plug from the splitter and inserted it directly into the head unit I had my reception back. Obviously the Isimple adapter is faulty so it is now in the garbage bin and I have great FM reception. Thanks again for the comments
