The windshield antenna doesn't work with your AM radio........that's for FM.
Most (if not all) radios have the AM antenna built-in.............. because:
The FM wavelength is much higher than the AM wavelength, this means the antenna for AM has to be much longer than the one for FM.
You know how long a FM antenna should be? Just look at a antenna on a fender of a car.........3 or so feet.
The AM antenna has to be 5'-6' feet long (or longer) so it wouldn't fit on most cars.
The manufactors get around this space limitation by installing a coiled-up copper antenna in the radio's chassis.
In other words.............the only thing that will fix your AM reception is a VISA card.
Think Sony.
