Hey Keith,
The first thing I would check is that your antenna is plugged into the back of the radio. It may be getting a weak signal if it is not plugged in all the way. If that is not the problem then using the electrical diagram in Clymers you can mount the new radio using the new radios plug and cutting off the bmw plug. If you don't have the diagram send me a pm with your e-mail and I will send you a copy.

Hey Keith,
If you 'double press'' your scan button, it should go into a mode of more sensitive scanning. Have you tried that?
