Radio Reception issue
Just finished the install in my 2011 370 base model, and my reception just plain sucks.
I installed a Pioneer Stage 4 DEX P99RS, along with an RE Audio 500.5 amp. Crutchfield supplied me with the antenna adapter needed to go from the motorola plug to the standard antenna connection, and I have the blue lead connected to the system remote wire of my HU, as directed. Is there something I'm missing? Help will be appreciated. Ron |

I hooked the blue wire to a wire that was hot when the key was on (the guy at Kenwood told me to)and not to hook it to remote lead.

worth a try
I'll give that a shot.
I actually hooked the remote lead for my amp to the switched 12v, and the antenna lead to the HU remote lead.... I'll try reversing them. Thanks for the input Ron |

No Good
Switched wires today..........amp turn on lead to system remote on head unit, antenna amp lead to 12 volt switched (acc) reception still sucks.
There is a local fm station less than 20 miles from me, and this thing wont pick it up. I dont understand it, the factory tuner was awesome. I bought a $1200.00 head unit with a $12 tuner. |

I did try it both ways, and tested voltage to be 100% that all was right.
does anyone know where the antenna amp is in the car? maybe I can troubleshoot from there. Thanks for the help. |
