Just put a Pioneer DEH-P77MP - MP3
into my 2003 Impreza but the reception is Very poor

Any ideas?
Maybe a arial booster is needed???

 

Did you connect the powered antenna lead to the amplifier?
new age sccobs have an amplifier on the antenna that must be powered.

All sorted now mate, i thought that so pulled it all out again and connected the Blue remote wire and its all fine now.

Cheers

 

Hope this dont sound too stupid, but I have the same problem.

So with an amp, both the original wire and the amp remote wires have to be connected to the powered antenna lead.

I just assumed it was a dummy wire, especially as I haven't found the antenna yet let alone knew that it was powered.

no wonder **** all works in my car.

 

Make sure the Blue remotes are connected to the Main Loom mate
The blue wire needs a 12v

 

The new age antennas are in the rear window above the heater elements, and the amp is tucked under the rear shelf in the boot. Took me a whileto find the dam thing as well

I think that's the aerial filter. The aerial amp's hidden in the right rear door pillar, I thtink.
