[QUOTE="TikiG, post: 8852466, member: 689479"] It is actually a long stick antenna mounted next to the hood. Based on the fact that my car's harness doesn't use pin 1 which is empty and I don't see a power module listed on the Honda replacement parts for it, I'm beginning to think that the unit's antenna is not powered. But that begs the question, why does the Stock Radio work and the aftermarket radio have bad FM and Zero AM. I'm going to take a look and see if the plug connection on the back might be having a bad connection. Note: Wiring pinouts for the 2005 CRV are pretty easy to come by for all the standard pins, but between radio models there are some additional pinouts that are used and with Honda they are not consistent with there use of wire colors. I've yet to find a conclusive pinout on the additional White connector. I have seen a few but none listed an ANT pin. The suggestions to use the old radio wasn't a bad one for testing, could try and test pin 19 by removing it. If I lose reception, that would be my answer. [/QUOTE]
