Car CD-Player - FM quit working

[zamzam]

OK, I know this is a PC based site, but this is actually in a round-about way, a PC concern. I have a PC in my car that plays through my CD player via a FM modulator. However a month ago, the FM quality started to slowly degrade, and now go out completely. I still can play CD's and listen to AM radio, but FM stations just produce static.

I ripped everything apart (no small feat, with my car design) and the antenna connection was as tight as ever, and the antenna connection in the trunk seemed fine as well. I wiggled and still got nothing. Can just the FM go bad in a car stereo? It is a Jensen CD615x (it is one of only a handful that are made in the larger size to fill the huge opening fo a Chevy Cav '96, without a converter kit.)

Thanks for any help that can be offered,
zamzam

yes the fm could quit working it is pausible, but there is pobably another reason. Another thing jenson, pioneer and other radio companies that makes the 1.5 and double din radios usually for dodge and gm vehicles usually uses the cheapest radio on there single din line and then make it into a perfect fit for "all" those vehicles.

And fixing any problem CAN cost as much as the radio itself. It maybe something simple, try it in another car or truck, see if it works there.
If you buy a new one though, I would go with another company that takes pride in their product like eclipse radios made by fujitsu.
This company makes the best head units, IMHO.
