OEM productis probably defective, even though the amp is in the trunk rear drivers side the antenna is still connected behind the radio, you can check the connection behind the radio first as well as the fuses that are related power amp, radio, etc.., but replacing the deck is your best solution with an amp bypass.

You have a bad grounding issue. It's either on the antenna, or the radio ground is going bad. More than likely the antenna though. Try replacing it, or temporarily plugging in a test antenna.

Yep, i was just about to say ground when i noticed the last post hit it. It is the antenna ground out near the mounting base.
