Aftermarket radio, no Radio channels

[mtran2988]

So I recently installed a DSX-S310BTX Sony radio into my car. I have everything working except I don't get any radio stations. The only reference to any antenna I see is a wire called Antenna REM, which i hooked up to the corresponding color on the adapter. I'm not very versed with car audio knowledge and was wondering if someone could help me and let me know if I did something wrong. The adapter I got for the wire harness was one from Walmart for the Corolla 93+, it came with 4 plugs but I only use 2 of them. I'm thinking maybe I did a bad wiring job on the antenna wire... but then again I don't really know what I should be thinking in this situation. Thanks for your help.

Edit: Oh. I have a Corolla 2004 S

Chalk one up for silly... I forgot to actually plug in the antenna into the back of the radio. I never noticed it was there on the stock radio I guess. I plugged it in (painfully through the glove compartment... couldn't even wait to get home) and it's working!

There is also an antenna amplifier that you should connect to the antenna amp on the back of the headunit so you can get good reception.

Yea, i hooked that up. Everything is working great! As an added bonus, I fixed a part of the dash that was broken.
