I think you are being blown off. If the antenna worked with AM before, and it is the SAME antenna, just a different receiver, then its the receiver, not the car...
I would return that stereo immediately and have the guy who gave you that answer explain the phenomenon in detail to both you and his BestBuy manager...

I know of no normal situation where you would lose your AM reception. Sounds like the installer is "tuned out". Complain to Best Buy management ASAP.
