OK so what do I do about an FM antenna problem ?

is the antenna plug the same size on the new HU as it was on the old HU? you can get an adapter if theres any difference between the plugs.

you could quit being so cheap and spend 20 bucks at a pawnshop and have a working radio

Same plug and if I pull it and bend it a little it works for a few hours after which the plug straightens itself up.
I am htinking of getting a plug adapter sleeve ... or smashing it so its like a blade ... somethign for positive contact.
20 bucks is too much for a radio when a nice new one with HD and Mp3 capacity is 75 with the adapter and wiring kit for my car. Sorry $7 was rather high IMHO.

There's nothing wrong with making things better on the cheap! I think flattening it out some would probably do the trick.

The thing has a spring loaded clip of sorts on the inner wall of the receptacle. That clip seems to have turned well, non springy. Wonder if that can be re springied if I open the radio.

that is true, either try flattening the plug a little, or try loosening one of the chassis screws, and attach a small peice of solid wire to it, taping it to the cable to keep it from coming unplugged
