Radio is missing...

Good day all!!

I have been actively busy with all the many projects I have on my plate, so I haven't been on here much!! I have many things I need to catch up on for all of yous and I apologize for the delay!!!

So, I have been using my AUX cord in Becky pretty much constantly because I can't get any radio stations... I figured it was an antenna amp thing because my key didn't work either... I got a new key and it works just fine, so back to square one with no stations coming in...

I am pulling the interior from Whitney and installing it in Becky since it has heated front and rear seat (that are plug and play - oh by the way!!! All the wires are there!!)..... While I had everything out, I checked on the antenna connection to the radio under the cover by the battery... Low and behold, there was nothing in that location for Becky... Becky has 677 HIFI system professional as an option... Everything except for radio station reception works... So, what I have not been able to find out with my research is: Does the 677 option delete the radio in the box by the battery and put it elsewhere? OR use some other means to receive the radio stations? I think the "radio" in the dash is just a display, right?! It did have a satellite radio antenna on the roof, but I would think the default would be AM/FM if the subscription ran out... I'll continue my search, but if anyone knows right off, that would be super great!!!

Thanks all!!

Cheers!!
