Default New headunit problems

So recently my old pioneer headunit was stolen and they unplugged everything and took the wiring harness. So i went out bought a new similar model pioneer headunit and a new wiring harness set it all up . And everything works as it should (xm,dvd,aux and usb) expect for fm/am radio cant seem to find a signal on any station and my driver side front speaker just isnt working. I unplugged everything to make sure my wires where properly connected and it all looks fine there but i just cant figure out why those two things are not working. Any help is appreciated

^this. The headunit's connection to your drivers door may have been messed up when those thieves ripped all the radio wires out. Son of a bitches

Thats what im thinking because at first i thought they unplugged everything but when i looked closer you tell they literally ripped the headunit from the mounting bolts and snapped all the plastic pieces behind so maybe bent a pin or something. Im going to a local audio shop to see if they can figure it out if i cant over the weekend

Souns good. I'm sure the thieves screwed pins your wiring. The pins that hold the radio on its track are stronger than you might think. It takes some strength to rip them out. And even harder to get a grip on the radio with your hands to pull on it that hard. Unless they had screw drivers and pry bars. They probably did
