I have an Alpine 9845 receiver that I have had installed in a few different vehicles that I have had over the last couple of years, never had any reception issues with it, everything was great, but I bought a 2005 Nissan Pathfinder and after installation I have very poor FM reception, some stations come in but with low volume, other stations are very garbled, the factory radio works perfect.  I have pulled the radio out and checked the connection, made sure it was inserted solidly, and nothing seems to work for me.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

you have an amplified antenna that has not been reconnected when you added your alpine. so check the unused wires, test them to make sure they are not any 12 volt sources.  when you figure out which one it is.. wire it to the blue wire on the radio.
