AM RADIO Reception ?

[TXAG96]

I'm aging myself here but yes, I listen to AM radio.
Ive searched the forums and didn't find anything on the topic.

I cannot pick up a solitary station on the AM radio (not even the non-english speaking ones, lol) . I noticed the lack of windshield antenna or any for that matter. The Little bubble on the roof is not for radio as best I know and certainly not for AM reception.

I know I could stream it via my phone but would rather not.

Thanks in advance for any feedback.

To be honest the only time I listened to the AM function was by accident. It worked, I live in a city with many AM stations. Have you tried to manually tune the dial? The auto tune may not pick up a station if the reception isn't really good. FYI, the antenna module sits on the rear deck under the carpet between the rear speakers. You can always have the dealer check it.

Mine was simply disconnected under the headliner. The antenna modules are under rear bumper cover on left and right side behind the wheels.

Well the parts are called antenna modules but I'm not sure if they are radio antenna or not??? I found mine loose. The wires go up through the rear into the trunk (under the plastic rear panel near the latch) and join another module. JR3T-19K351 are the part numbers. Again, not sure if these are related to the radio antenna or the blind spot detection stuff....
