No radio reception

Assuming the vehicles antenna is intact and in one piece, check the antenna connection behind the radio. If the antenna is connected behind the radio, there could possibly be a problem with the radio's tuner (internally). The only way to properly diagnose this problem is to place a radio that is known to work into the vehicle (simply to test) and check the radio reception. If the radio reception is improved and working, you know the problem lies within the radio itself.

If it still does not work, there is a problem with the antenna on the vehicle (disconnected, damaged, cut, etc.)

for the poor reception have you plugged in the antenna wire into the radio

You might try Windows to search for drivers. It seems you hardware is OK but you have a software problem.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When you put the tape in and play your songs,then take it out or eject the tape, push in the radio mode, you should the radio , if not check to make sure you got a good antenna connection, sometimes there maybe a delay but hopefully not two minutes, should be more like 5-10 second delay

go step by step to find the fault.
check antenna connection behind the radio
check roof aerial and wire connection underneath it.
Take an old radio's antenna and connect it to your car's radio antenna input and check whether your car radio is working properly.

try takeing back out and see if the conection on the back has come off if not have a look at the conection its self

Is the antenna secure in back of radio? Antenna on vehicle OK? If antenna OK I might think radio tuner is just bad. Need new radio.

does your vehicle have a towbar fitted i have found in the past that some towing relays can cause interference if they are not wired to a correct power source also any other aftermarket electrical equipment can cause this

Check to make sure the antenna is still plugged in.
