This is going to be a real forehead slapper when it is solved

Am installing a FM expander to a 01 V35 300GT with bose stereo.

For some reason can't get it to work. Expander is an Aerpro (AP745)

and have both diversity antenna adaptors AP348A

and AP348B

ok so i have connected the factory antenna to AP348A - the male fitting of AP348A to the female of the fm expander - the male of the fm expander to the female of AP348B - connected AP348B to the stereo.

Alas no FM signal - Am works wonderfully though.

What have i done wrong

Oh and the fm expander is wired to the cigarette lighter if anyone is wondering.

Will post pics if anyone wants them.

Hey guys

Thanks for the reply chris

So it seems i have connected the components in the right order - it is hard to get it wrong the problem must be faulty expander.

This is an item you sell Chris ever had a faulty expander?

I might test it in my other car - for example if itune the radio to 85.3 it should be 105.3?

Cheers

Have you tried wiring it to a continuous live wire instead of the cigarette lighter which tends to be ignition controlled. Wiring to the lighter would mean its only working with the ignition on

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
