Hi, I have only static on my radio when trying to get AM or FM stations. The CD and tape player work fine. It was like this when I bought the car (from the original elderly owner, never a cab).
Attached is a picture of what I believe to be an antenna mounted on the inside of the front windshield.
Any advice appreciated, thank you.
