Any antenna can receive anything, but not very well unless it's the correct length for the frequency you're trying to receive. Yes, this antenna will work well so you will not need a special FM only antenna.
1). If it's getting any FM stations, then the radio is OK.2). If it's getting the strong (nearby) stations but not the weak (far away) ones,then check the car's FM antenna, the connection between the antenna and thecable, the condition of the cable from the antenna to the radio, and the connectionbetween the cable and the radio.
Sure you can use it. The question is: How effective will it be ? In the real world, the answer is: If it's a choice between an indoor FM antenna and the TV antenna on the roof, then you'll be very satisfied using the roof-mounted TV antenna for FM. Technically, the parts ('sticks') on the TV antenna are not the right lengths for FM, so the TV antenna won't be very efficient for FM reception. BUT ... it'll be a darn sight better than a piece of wire downstairs inside the house. If you live in a rural area, you'll start picking up the distant FM stations that you couldn't quite hear before. If you live in or near a big city with lots of FM stations, you just might start picking up so many that the dial of your radio is crowded, and you have troubled separating out the one you want. If that happens, you may need to get back offof the TV antenna, just because it's working TOO well for your FM radio.
it's an older FM radio antenna that requires an outlet
Some transmission modes send no power to the antenna if you are not speaking. If the antenna light is sensing radio frequency energy, it will come on only when you speak. This applies to single sideband (SSB). AM and FM transmitters send power to the antenna all the time.
If the player enables radio it should use either an in built antenna of use the earphones as an antenna. Nothing more to buy or build.
The FM Trap is used to reduce offending FM signals that can cause audio and video interference. Designed to attenuate the entire FM band and Average -26dB. It's a piece of hardware between the antenna and the preamplifier.
It is possible to receive AM signals without an antenna, FM signals, however, require an antenna to be received. The standard FM antenna is around 72 inches for the quarter wave length at the middle of the FM band. Assuming the radio is not broken, try checking to see if the antenna has become disconnected or broken. You can remove an old working antenna from another vehicle and plug it into the antenna jack of your radio to see if the signal comes through. Older vehicles all use the same type of jack. Newer and some imports use a smaller jack. You can get an adapter from an auto parts store or off the internet (eBay).
check your antenna connections.
You need to be more specific. Where is the FM antenna on what? The FM antenna at a radio staion could be on a mountain. FM is called line of site transmission. Meaning, it shoots a beam , or wave, in a staight line to your antenna on your car or house. So, FM can be heard even if you are going through a tunnel, provided there are no mountains to block the signal. It is also called Frequency Modulation. AM is Amplitude Modulation. It is bounced up and down between the atmospere and the ground, until it hits your antenna. So, AM can even be heard if mountains block your signal. It simply bounces over and on top of them to your antenna. Where is your car?

i think it does.
it is built into the back window
In the rear glass not In the windshield...
The antenna wire being unplugged from the antenna can cause this.
I believe it is the same antenna for the AM in the real window above the heater elements.
i think our head set acted as antenna..
