I can't seem to get AM stations.
Flame me if you want, but I drive state to state atleast twice a month and like to listen to AM talk sometimes to keep me awake sometimes. I used to get AM w/ my factory radio, but I switched to an older Kenwood CD player and AM wouldn't come in. I figured it was because the HU was old, so I bought another Kenwood cd/mp3 and I still can't get AM. FM works fine. Anyone else have this problem? I have a Kenwood 4 ch amp, kenwood components in the door and kenwood 6.5 in the rear. I can't seem to figure it out. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I've got a Kenwood head unit and I have the same problems. I went to listen to a baseball game one day and didn't get a single AM station! Thanks for bringing it up cause I just assumed it was the stereo and I wouldn't bother worrying about it! 
I'll check this out tonight too!

So the one that I need to connect on my Kenwood is the Orange one? I don't really understand the Pinout, what does "NC" mean? And yes, I installed the stereo myself and also the speakers, I kind of know what I'm doing...

I don't know what color the power antenna wire is on the Kenwood. But the instructions should call it a Power Antenna. I believe "NC" means "No Connection"
I had also installed HU's in the past but this is the first time I did one with an amplifer on the antenna. I initially did not connect it and had no AM and FM was weak when I wasn't near the station. Once I connected the wires everything worked.
