    Is the radio even coming on? If so take out the radio and see if the antenna wire is on it.

    It is on it, it seems to be a problem with the fiat stilo so i'm getting a fiat mechanic to check it. last car i had i had usb on it and never (or i thought never) listened to the radio. now i dont have it i miss it

    The easiest way would be try your radio in another car wit a known good antenna.

    Is ther any sound coming form the speakers when you turn on the radio?
