My SONY XPLOD unit has decided it does not want me to listen to the radio anymore. The CD, and AUX work just fine...but when I tune into the radio, I hear nothing. I can hear static and some music if I turn it ALL the way up, and put my head to the speaker. But that just ain't practical, is it?

Some guy said it was the tuner...is this repairable?

 

i would first check to make sure that your antenna did not get disconnected from the back of the radio, and if that is still pluged in then, lets just say that it XPLODED!!! which is typical of most all sony car electronic products. sony's have weak FM/AM tuners in them to begin with. id say its time for a new radio if you want to get one if not then just use the AUX and CD portion untill you can get a new one.

 

The SAME thing happened to my sony xplod head unit. WTF!! I want my radio back. I replaced the antenna because it was bent and that didn't work. I also checked my fuses and those looked fine. Idk

 

You need a Pioneer HU my friend.

 

I always forget that some people actually still listen to AM-FM radio... I don't even have my antenna hooked up. Sirius FTW.

 

Your Xplod done gone xploded.

 

sounds like you and I need a new head units hougy

 

My stock head unit did that once 'cause the antenna plug came out... check all the wires before you write the whole thing off...

AUX input FTW... sometimes I wonder why I even bought the 6 in dash... lol

 

I have a stock am/fm/single CD unit (does NOT play mp3 cds) if any of you are interested.

 

It's the head unit. I took it out and made sure everything was connected, and I checked the antenna (I even polished the contacts to make sure nothing was interfering with it). Still, no go. Going to see if I can transplant my old head unit radio tuner into the SONY one.

 

Yup mines the head unit also, everything is connected.

 

As Mikey said up there, I also have a single disc non MP3 CD player sitting around. I also have a 6 disc MP3 player for sale too if you are looking for one, no imput jacks on em though.

 

I have a 6 disc as well,but it's fubared.

 

Which unit was it?
I have like 3 different Sony Stereo's kicking around here.
