Radio problems, anyone?

So my Sirius 6 months trial was up recently and when I tuned to the radio I realized it isn't working. Neither FM or AM, it's just a fizzled buzz on each station. I haven't listened to the radio in my car in forever, but I know about a month (or two?) ago my friend put it on and it was fine.

I've since reactivated Sirius and that's fine, but the radio is still out of order. I have a Sharkfin...could that be causing trouble to the FM/AM but not necessarily the satellite? I have no idea why this is happening and although I don't listen to the radio, the fact that it's not working is just really bugging me.

Any ideas?

That's weird indeed. My 6 mo Sirius ended a couple days ago and I used the FM with no issues for a day or two before I called them and reupped my subscription for another month before I ship.

I personally would take it to the dealership and ask probably but who knows they might just blame the sharkfin...

Sigh. It's exactly why I haven't taken it in yet, because I don't want them blaming the Sharkfin. And even if it were the fin, the satellite works great...I don't see how it could be affecting the FM/AM but not Sirius.

Ah well.. guess this isn't so common, I'll just suck it up and take it to Mitsu next week. Thanks anyway for the reply
