I am not familiar with the Aiwa AM-F5,
Some question need answers.
1. does the cigarette lighter still work?
2. Can you run it from the charger?
3. could you run it from the charger before?
4. Can you plug it into house current and try that?
5. How about running it on regular dry cells? is that an option?
Basically there could be a problem with the car cigarette lighter,
the car charger, cord and plug,
the battery,
the Aiwa unit itself.
YOu will have to try to eliminate the possibilities by running tests.
