Poor AM reception with replacement deck

Hi,

I have a 1999 ML320. I had a box store replace my original MB radio
with an Alpine 123 deck (needed USM/Bluetooth). Everything works except the AM reception is
very poor (only works on strong local stations)

FM works fine and the both worked fine on the old MB unit.

There was no work done on the rear of the car. The antenna connections
at the front have been rechecked.

Any suggestions???

Thanks MJ

Do you have the needed antenna amplifier? If not you need one. They are 29.95 from us, and you can also get them from Connects2
