Radio not receiving signal from antenna?

Series 1

Lost all stations and unable to pick anything up with a retune. Audio working fine.

This suggests to me that it's something to do with the antenna and/or cable between it and the radio and/or the way it's plugged into the back of the radio??

Or could it be the RF front-end of the radio gone doolally?

TIA

Not as far as I can see (if you are referring to the rear-window).

The plug on the back of the head unit is short...I have had mine unplug itself before

If you have never had your headunit out that likely wont apply

Thanks for the clarification. No, never had the head unit out. Seen the video and may have a go at taking it out to check the aerial at the back.

Found the aerial lead wasn't making very good contact behind the head unit.

Many thanks for your suggestions...very much appreciated.
