I've had this same problem now in 2 different civics. I put in an aftermarket radio and I can't pick up radio stations hardly at all. The stock radio picked everything up just fine. I put that same aftermarket in 2 different (non honda) vehicles and it picks up stations just fine. Is there a part that I am missing or something I need to do to get it to pick up radio stations?

 

you might wanna hook up the power antenna wire

 

do civics have power antennas?

lol this doesnt give more power to the antenna reception...

get an amplified antenna at pepboys , 14 bucks... thats what i did and its hidden under the headliner, and then you will have an excuse to use the antenna block plate and you wont just be a poser

 

I don't remember if the ek's also have the budget 'pull-it-out-yourself' antenna, but I know with my eg you have to pull the little bugger out to pick up anything..

 

Yeah, both of my civics had/have the pull out style antenna. My first one was broken off so I just figured that was the problem. But this civic, that has the full antenna gets the same reception, even with different aftermarket radios. I think I will just go buy one of the amplified antennas. Thanks for the replies.

 

Is this what I should be looking for?
