Just installed my D1 with the bypass.  Works great!  All features work, even A/V with external DVD player.

Problem is - I cannot get my AM radio to receive stations.  My FM radio is working great.  Anyone having the same problems? Can someone check and see if their AM stations are working?  Thanks.

Its a Mercedes ML350, using the existing antenna.  Like I said, FM works great.  Any thoughts you might have on this will be much appreciated.

might be an amplified antenna, anything like VW the FM works good and AM sucks until you get the proper adaptor

Shaughn - I think you might be correct.  Read somewhere in some other forums that its an amplified antenna.  What type of adaptor do I need?  Thanks for the reply.
