Aftermarket radio not picking up MW. What can I do?

I have just replaced the factory fitted radio with an aftermarket Apline unit, everything works fine except the radio wont pick up MW stations. Is there an aerial adaptor I need to 'boost' the signal? Any help would be great.

You need to take it to a car audio specialist. With the advent of DAB, MW is very much on the decline.
