My Jensen radio does not play FM stations. Can this be fixed?

I was just given a Jensen w/ remote AM/FM CD stereo. But once it was installed I told that I do not get any FM stations. Can this be fixed? If so is it costly? I was given this stereo do to the fact that my factor Honda stereo with casette stop working. however all my radio stations worked fine. I really like the sound of this Jensen stereo I just wished that I could listen to FM stations. Any way to help?

Thank You for your responce. Im hoping that this will work. I will see hopefully over the week end.

Regarding: The Jensen stereo CD AM/FM with no AM/FM stations at all. The model number to this Jensen is CD3010X.

Once again Terry Thank You.

If I remember my Jensens, don't they have fibre glass bodies? This means that your aerial will not have a very good ground plane - if at all. FM needs a decent aerial. I have two suggestions. Take a wire from the outside connector of the aerial's coax to a suitable earth (ground) point. (In the case of a fibre glass car look for earth wires near lights and connect to one of them. Be careful that the wire is earth and not 12V DC. Alternatively get a powered aerial that sticks to the windscreen (windshield), they don't need a ground plane.
