Let's eliminate the basics first:
1. Make sure the system has power and is on.
2. Make sure the iPod is securely in the dock.
3. Make sure the iPod is not muted/and sound is up
4. Make sure the sound system is not muted and volume is up
5. Try switching wire again after making sure volume is up.
6. Check to see if the sound system has to be in a specific "mode" to play the sound for the iPod
The FM aerial should not affect the iPod using the speakers as it's sound output, as it should be for using the system as a radio.
