Default Sirius sattelite reciever install interfereing with Fm radio?

The previous owner installed an Audiovox Sirius satellite reciever. All the wiring is neatly tucked into the dash. The sattelite antenna is placed near the stock fm antenna. Would this be causing interference? I dont seem to be able to pick up ANY FM stations. I have the one cd player option in my 04.

Not knowing how the wiring is routed means more work uninstalking it than I think I have time for, and I'm not interested in subscribing to satellite radio.

Sirius operates around 2330mhz, so it shouldn't be interfering with your FM. Double check your FM antenna connection to the back of the stereo. On my 08, it's an orange cable with a male plug. Very loose fit on mine. I zip tied it in place.

Yea, its easy to knock that connector loose. Mine slide out when installing it. So much stuff to pack behind the dash with radio connections, Sat radio box, steering wheel controller box, and 3 sets of RCA cables. Bit easy to push something lose when shoving things back.
