Default BMW aerial amp.

Had the head unit stolen from my BM about a week ago.
Much of the wiring just yanked from the dash.
Another Kenwood head unit was fitted at the weekend, and it appears to be
working well. Except. The radio can't be manually tuned, and scanning only
easily finds 2 local stations. Repeat scans find 2 more. Once or twice it's
found Radio 1, and that's it. No other BBC stns at all.
Could this be the affect of having an unpowered aerial amp?
The Bentley book appears to show the aerial being powered from the radio, so
maybe that particular wire has broken behind the dash somewhere.
I know only the basics of fitting car radios, so any advice, pointers, would
be appreciated.
Mike.
