Hello all,
Have some issues with my radio reception
Currently have: Pioneer Headunit with 12v feed to aerial amplifier wire (common mistake to miss with aftermarket headunits in skylines)
Fault: Have poor FM reception & no AM reception.
Problem #1: When I unplug the aerial amplifier wire, radio reception doesn't change. Should there be a big difference between plugged & unplugged?
Root Cause: Im thinking my Aerial Amplifier might be broken...Anyone know where it is located? Someone has mentioned it is behind the rear quarter interior panel?
Problem #2: Radio reception gets worse when I switch from Accessories - On (Engine)
Root Cause:Why would reception be worse in On/Engine mode? Would a faulty alternator cause more static/interference to radio?
I have a feeling my alternator may be on its way out...
Thanks
