I suggest finding a good electronics repair company to send it in to. It's a 35 year old stereo.
Check the antenna cable connections both at the antenna, and at the back of the radio. If these are good, and it does not appear likely that the antenna cable is corroded or damaged (as may happen in a collision), then a fault in the radio is more likely to be the problem.

If the antenna isnt there... that may be the problem!! LOL
Have you tried an aftermarket antenna directly to the radio to see if it works properly?
Fixed MAST antennas usually designate a standard 31" antennas protruding from the wheel well on either the passenger or Driver side.... not the bumper.
A solution to the fixed mast/car wash problem is to go with an interior glass mount or hidden antenna. This keeps your wiring out of the outside corrosive environment as well.

Call the XM service number, they will refresh your signals. If it was the head unit, the same problem would occur during AM/FM signal transmission

Pull off the 3 knobs for the heat controls. You will see a screw under the center knob. Remove it. Look to see if there are any screws near the vent grilles, remove them, if they are there. The whole center fascia then pulls out towards you. Remove the 4 bolts, and the radio is out. Easy.

if you are getting static, you need to replace the antenna. you can also add an antenna booster.... but chech the connection of the antenna inside the radio to make sure it is still connected.... if you have the origional radio for the car connect that back up and plug the antenna in on it and see if you get the tunes, if you do then it is a wire problem in the new radio with the antenna wire itself....hope this helps you out
