Wind radio issue

My wife drives a wind and after a few months of driving the radio stopped working. It still comes on but just static sound. I've had a quick look online and can't even confirm whether or not the car should have an aeriel. Any advice greatly appreciated.

The aerial is built into the rear window and it is possible that the connection between the aerial and the window has broken. This is a common problem with this type of aerial. The connection and amplifier are in the bottom left hand side of the window - to check you will have to remove the plastic trim around the window but this just pulls off.

Is the cd player still working ok?

Thanks for the reply. Yeah the CD player us still working. I'll go and have a look at the window now.

Just had a look the connection looks ok

Ok, if the aerial seems ok then the only other component that could be faulty is the stereo itself. Before going out to replace the stereo i would do a further check on the aerial by using a multimeter to check the continuity at both ends of the aerial (the end that plugs into the stereo and the end at the rear window) but it is most unlikely that the cable has been damaged. It is also difficult to plug in a different stereo to test the aerial because the Wind does not use the standard aerial fittings - it uses fraka fittings and the only way to use a different one would be to buy a fraka aerial adaptor from ebay for about £4 or £5. Alternatively you could take the stereo to someone who has the equipment to test it. A replacement second hand stereo unit will set you back about £75 -£100. Sorry but thats the best advice i can offer.
