  • Your Radio Doesn’t Work at All – If your car radio doesn’t work whatsoever, this is an obvious sign that you need a new radio installation. A new radio can increase your driving experience and be a great investment if you plan on selling your car in the future.
  • You’re Radio is Picky – Does your radio work, but only half of the time? And when it does work, is it picky on placement of other cords? This is probably due to a wiring problem, but you will more than likely need a new radio installation.
