Radio Static Problem
My radio is only playing static as though the antenna is disconnected, the CD and Cassette are working normally, I've had the head unit out and re seated it but the problem still remains - has anybody else had the same problem and if so what was the fix?

The antenna connector from the antenna cable may not be securily attached to the cage so when you seat the head unit into the cage, it may get pushed out from the back. Remove the climate control unit below the head unit and, while the head unit is in the case, wiggle the cable/connector on the back of the cage and see if that will get your reception back.
This is how it is for model year <=2005 and for 2006 and later may be different.

Tried it and reception still the same, (one MW station can be heard but very poor reception) I know their is an antenna amplifier behind one of the "C" pillars - where does it take it's power supply from?
The heated rear window works fine which as I understand also doubles up as the radio antenna, has anyone got any other idea's regarding this problem?

Update.
I was driving yesterday with CD playing and I was receiving traffic news etc, I thought that worked via the radio station you were tuned to!
Correct me if I'm wrong, anybody got an opinion on this?

What's the model year of your 9-5? Sedan or Estate?
