[HELP] Radio Signal on DNX 6140

kenchan · 09-21-2009, 11:36 PM

really? hummmm... my aftermarket stereo's have clear reception. maybe FM signals aren't that strong in your area(?). kinda hard to believe though. you stock hu had clear reception, right? should be about the same.

I had the same initial problem in my Pioneer HU. I researched in the HU’s menu and found that the power source for the antenna amp (blue wire) was in the off position.

I for one sec do not believe that is normal for an aftermarket head unit to get crappy signal. I might recommenced that you pull the head unit out and take a look to see if there is even a wire connected there. Maybe even a picture.

yeah it was crystal clear on my stock system. I do have windows tinted and it worked fine with my stock system. I am going to argue this matter with the installer. This is unacceptable.

I agree man, what I would personally do is ask to watch them pull the head unit out and see the wiring and verify that 1. the antenna adapter is there and 2 that it is all connected properly.

Kenwoods do not have that feature it is always on.

thanks for the help. I really appreciate it! I'll need to installer again in two weeks for my sub installation so I will let you guys know.

You could have a defective unit…………It’s statistically impossible not to have some defects in a manufacturing process, mechanical or electrical.
