Toyota 2002 sportivo radio not working Please help

[pythonsnake]

hi i have a Toyota sportivo Camry 2002 that i brought at toyota penrith and today i found that the radio is not working(picking up radio stations) everything else works fine.CD,ect but no radio . can you tell me if the radio antenna has a fuse and if so where could it be? or what could be another problem with the radio.
I suspect the problem may lie in loss of connectivity between the radio antenna (printed on my car’s rear window) and the audio unit (installed in dashboard area)
if this is so how can i fix it or how can i get to the connection.iv also put back in the first car radio i had with the car and no radio stations on that as well so that the radio tuner out of the question.as both radios i have cant pick up FM or AM reception.And another question is question is how can i find where the anntenna wiring is so i can check to see if the connection's have not come lose. As the antenna has to come from the back window to the stero some how.
please help as i cant go with out my FM for to long.
so it has something to do with my antenna. or is there a fuse some where that run's the antenna
thank you

thank you

did you get your windows tinted? Sometimes when people tint their windows, they damage the antenna on the rear window. Also there should have a FM box in the rear pillar, i think the left side. you might be able to check that out, but i'm not to sure what's the deal in there. good luck!

Most glass mounted antennas require an amplifier to acquire a strong enough signal. Make sure that there's 12V to the antenna's amplifier if installed. See http://www.supraforums.com/forum/sho....php?p=6175963 for reference to different configurations.
