Rubbish radio reception! - jomo - 12-06-2020
Ever since i fitted and after market headunit in the is200 i'v had rubbish radio reception?
It's a brand new unit so not faulty as it had rubbish reception with thge previous Kenwood mp3 unit?
Does the std powered ariel not like after market units?

Have you given the existing antenna a power source as it draws it from the radio noally if you haven't then it won't work right......

Ah er no!
So wheres the power wire that needs a feed?
And is it a 12v feed it needs?
Rubbish radio reception! - Rabster - 12-06-2020
It's a black cable running along the antenna cable it needs a 12v ignition feed or the antena out on aftermarket radios give 12v
Cable located right hand side of the radio opening

Hi Rabs, had a quick look just now through the single din opening and couldnt see or feel any extra black cable that runs along the antena cable?
Is it way in the depths behind the faceplate?
Cheers BTW.
