I saw a posting saying to hold the amfm button with eject button and I did that to register
Set up mode but no results

I checked connections to antennae and all seem good

I checked cd changer in trunk , it is fine

What else can be checked?

It can be either a bad antenna or a bad radio. You can hook up a cheap aftermarket FM antenna and test to see if you get FM reception and confirm the antenna is bad. If you still don't get FM reception your radio is bad and will need to be replaced.

Check ground point G-401 at right front side of trunk and also antenna connection-if okay have the head unit tested at a car audio installation shop-
