I recently got a 2001 insight and the radio in it was after market. The AM band only got static, FM worked fine. I replaced it and it basicaly still doesn't get much on the AM. Is this a common issue with folks who have gone aftermarket? Does this happen with OEM (I can't imagine it does) I have XM, and I even found a place on the dash where the magnetic antenna sticks, so life will go on if there's nothing that can be done about it.

If they did things properly and got the wiring connector so they didn't have to cut the car's harness there are a couple of different ones out there. One I did came from Ultimate Electronics and it actually had the wire for the antenna amp. Others I've done didn't have that wire present. But as said above, no AM without the amp hookup.
