I can't pick up radio stations!

[Neonsxt0486 10+ year member]

When I took out my factory radio i pulled the antenna wire a lil too hard. When I installed my Pioneer Hu I can only use the cd player, the antenna hooks up but doesn't pick up any stations. When I grab the connector and hold the two ends together tight it picks up stations loud and clear. What can I do to fix this? Am I going to have to buy a new antenna?

Replace the antenna lead...would be the easiest solution.

or just hold it tight whenever you wanna get radio stations or even better idea train a chimp to hold it for you

Train the same squirrels that run around in your sub box and push the cone in and out to hold the connector for you.

Chimps are overpriced.
