Default Lost my radio reception after dynamat??

Ok so I dynamat my rear dash and then turn my radio on and end up losing my antenna reception. Is there something on the rear dash I might have covered?

In the course of taking out your rear seats & rear deck, have you disconnected either the antenna connector that is attached to the rear windshield, or the antenna line that comes from there and travels down the center of the car? (there's an inline connector in that line that may have worked loose).

The second pic you posted is the inline connector I was referring to - it's in a cable that travels down the center of the car.
The other connection is on your rear windshield, where the antenna cable physically attaches to the windshield antenna.

engin_ear- I cant find the darn connection anywhere and I have searched all over the back of the car with the seats pulled out of the car and everything. Do you have any specific areas I can look to find the connection to the cable wire. Your help is appreciated.

Did you check the antenna connection that attaches directly to the rear windshield glass yet?

The cable is not long enough to reach up to the windsheild. It only reaches about half way up the rear seat right up the center.

Forget the cable for a minute - find the antenna in your rear windshield - there are connections along the edges of the rear windshield that connect to the window heater and antenna - make sure that they are all connected to something, and that a connector hasn't fallen off or come loose -reseat them.
You might try PM'ing 'lexusaudio' to understand more about the cable that is under the rear seat and what it connects to - that one might be for phone antenna.
