aftermarket radio... no AM reception. 900

I installed a Pioneer head unit, the same head unit I had in my 740. For some reason, I have absolutely no AM reception. The stock radio I pulled out of the car had perfect AM. I noticed this car has an in-glass antenna, where the 740 had a regular mast. Could this be the reason? How do i fix this?

When I've had loss of AM, it was due to a poor antenna connection. Maybe somwthing got pulled loose in the antenna connector when you made the swap.
