There are antennas in the rear window. The OEM head unit is able to
use either of the "diversity" antenna to select the best reception. There
is also an inline amp that the head is matched to.

You might check the connections in the c-pillar that go the the antenna;
they often get corroded. However, my guess is that your new unit
matches poorly to the existing antenna, and you're hosed.
