Toyota: Echo antenna problem

i know that the antenna is real because when mine is fully down, i get no
reception.
try checking the plug at the radio. some antenna plugs/sockets are slightly
different.
just a guess, unless the installation screwed it up.\
good luck, sam

working. 
connected? 

Of agreement for the conseil.Merci

check that your radio is properly earthed. poor earth path can cause
radio reception to be noisy

There should be an adjusting screw on the radio near where the antenna plugs
in. It is used to match the impedance of the antenna to the radio. Turn
this screw either way until you get the best reception.

This trimmer screw is a thing of the past, new radios are all auto

MDT Harry Potter must have on of the older Toyotas, from the
seventies.

Some old school stuff all right! I had a 1964 Ford F-100 and it had a
thumb knob in the back for trimming the antenna. Yes, I've owned Fords
too. This one had a 292 V8, I overhauled it, removed the auto and put in
a granny 4 spd. Was a good truck, only had 68,000 miles when I got it in
1981, but the guy just never changed oil.
