Hey all-

I have a 99 Saab 9-3 with an Alpine CDA-9813 head unit. When I play cds the sound is fine, but when I listen to the radio, it sounds like it cuts off in some of the speakers sometimes. It goes in an out of reception, even sitting still. How can I tell if it's an antenna problem or if something is wrong with the tuner?

Thanks

Kai

i had the same problem with my alpine cda-9833 and the problem was a adaptor from the cd player to the antenna was bad you might want to look into your connections.

did you hook up the power antenna circuit? which is possibly powering up an antenna signal amplifier......
