Just fitted a Double Din Pioneer FH-P4100 CD/Tape/Tuner in MY05 WRX.

Big improvment on the OE unit in both sound and looks. My problem is although everything is connected i cannot get any radio channels other than radio 2 (strong signal).

Any suggestions? Was there some sort of signal amp built into the OE unit ?

 

Have you connected the powered aerial lead?
You need to cos the scoob aerial needs to be powered.

 

Yep, sounds like the old powered antenna problem again.

Have a search around the forums ,there must be plenty of people who have had this problem before.

 

When you say powered aerial lead ??

I have connected everything via an Autoleads ISO connector.Is the aerial lead in this block or is it seperate.

What do i need to do ?

 

It's a seperate wire m8.

 

Does anyone find the standard aerial appalling quality anyway?

If so does anyone have any ideas on how to improve the reception?

I too have a MY05

 

Drill a hole in the roof and fit a propper whip one.
Not my idea of fun though.

How bout a Ariel booster at the back of the unit and power it off the remote blue wire
