Installed Jensen Sirius Sat Radio with Jensen Universal FM Modulator on a 1999 Buick Regal with the Monsoon Radio system factory installed.  When FM Mod is connected I can hear Sat perfect, but lose all regular radio.  Disconnect  FM mod, regular radio returns, but obviously, no Sat Radio.  HELP!!!!!!!!

whenever you want to listen to the regular radio, you have to turn off the jensen unit in order to get standard FM broadcasts.  Sometimes you hold down the on button til the display goes blank, other times there's a separate off button.  Check the owner's manual if you need help turning it off.  Once it's turned off that should let you tune in to any fm station.

Thanks, Unfortunately, I have tried that.  As Long as there is  power going to the FM Mod, I have no Reg Radio. Even if Jensen Sat Radio Display Handset is turned off.  Any other thoughts??

Only thing I can really think of is to make sure the modulator is not defective, and you can run a switch to the modulator's power wire to manually turn it on and off.  If you go that route, make sure before you put everything back together that you verify that turning off the power via the switch does in fact give you radio reception.  Cuz it might not help at all if there's something wrong with the modulator itself.
