Ham radio operator, cleaned many antenna + / - connections. Rubbing alcohol and a Q Tip. Dip tip in alco., don’t soak it. Twist into dirty port, repeat with fresh qtips until they come out clean. Let dry (alcohol will evaporate on it’s own). Careful getting alcohol on some plastics, can damage.
I got the same 300 idk if urs the touring 3.5 😂but when i put my blue tooth adapter in the center console port im getting alot of static i gotta use my treble to lower it but then when i connect a charger in it goes away abit more too/Bouta try this tomorrow while i remove my headliner to paint black and the pillars too but if this dont work any other tips ?
Actually it could be the Bluetooth device...try some other BT devices first to see if you get the same results. Cleaning the outside antenna shouldn't have anything to do with your symptoms in this case, but doesn't hurt if for when you just use your regular radio. It's also possible the static is coming from the speaker located inside the door.
Tried cleaning mine on my Nissan duke but it still showing no antenna detected. I’ve bought a new one but still not working either not picking anything up am or fm 😢
Could be a fuse, a bad antenna, or dirty antenna base, maybe a bad wire, maybe a loose wire behind the radio. Unfortunately lots of possibilities. If possible use a code reader to narrow down the problem.
@@FixCarYourself I actually waited and things work fine now. Wanted to give it a few days to see if it was an issue on their end first and it must've been.
Possibly clean the threads of the actual antenna or just replace your antenna completely. Also, its possible the antenna base may have a weak grounding connection.
My little rubber Antenna from O'reilly's looks just like yours unscrews in 3 places and they all get rusted all the time, I use WD40 W/ a wire brush, it has always worked like B.S. Going back to 1 piece Metal one. My Bad they all look the same I only paid 9 bucks, you get what you pay for. " My Bad "
I thought it was broken had this car for 2 years and Never thought to do this ahaha Thank you soo much!
Glad it helped!

Maybe theirs's a bad found somewhere on the vehicle or the actual radio system could be bad. Try using a scan tool to narrow down the problem.
What does it mean when you put this thing in a start position and it starts up and it died

Going to need to try this. Having trouble getting XM to work well and a refresh didn't help.
Please let us know if this helps even slightly.

Ok good to know.
What about the other 2 screws above the on that you are working ? They get all rusted too.
what part of the video are you referring to?
The antenna unscrews in 3 different places some 2 they all rust up. @@FixCarYourself
The antenna only unscrews once. I'm still not sure what or a specific part of the video you are referring to.
Tried this on a brand new vehicle. Still didn't work what else can I do? AM radio reception is horrible in Western New York.

Don’t spray electrical cleaner on the paint!!!!!
You could put a towel around it, and then spray.

Why is he whispering outside
Possibly not as close to the camera?
😂 Guess he being quite for the birds and dogs
No he is whispering
Shhh
Maybe it's not his car!
Why am I straining to hear you? Are you whispering or was your throat cut? Trying not to wake the kids?
