Radio Issues

I have a 03 E320, and the CD player works excellent. The problem is I can't pick up any radio stations. Sometimes the stations will pick up but as soon as I drive the car, the only thing I here is static. Does anyone have any idea as to what the issue is?

I would check antenna connections first, connections from the window antenna or at the back of the head unit, or take it to the dealership to be checked.

+1 it is probably an antenna issue which you can inspect yourself or go to an independent (versus a dealer which will charge a lot - I only go to the dealer for scheduled maintenance) to get it checked.

Thanks guys! That was exactly my thought. I don't think the antenna is connected to the radio.
