New Subaru owner bad signal
 

Hi all,


I recently bought a 2004 Impreza Wrx Sti Type uk PPP. Seems to be a good honest car. I have all ready fallen in love with. I will try and stick some photos up.


Only niggle I'm having which is now starting to bug me is not having any radio signal lol


I originally thought the radio may be disconnected from the aerial but I had a look today to see it was connected. To try and improve things I put a inline aerial booster powered via the blue wire in and now I can get radio 1 and that's it. Even this crackles.


Since the car has no aerial I assume it already uses a booster hidden in the car somewhere?


Probably a bit random but any help would be much appreciated

When you checked the stereo cables, did you check the blue / white striped cable? This is sometimes forgotten about when a stereo is removed / put back in.

hi peedee Is this so the blue/white can feed the booster already installed in the car?

Check my previous project thread mate, scroll down until you see it.....

I'm not 100% sure, but I had the same issues as you and turns out that this was the culprit.

Fantastic. Thank you for your time

thats pretty!! no help with the signal dilemna im afraid..:D

No bother. Let us all know if it fixes it!

All sorted. Exactly as you said. Blue/white wire feeds out from stereo to power antenna.


Thanks again

Thanks Munk. I searched for several months before I picked up this one :-)

lovely car mate...what backbox is that?

Cheers mate.
The backbox is one of the only mods that have been carried out by the previous owner.


I have a receipt that suggests it is a meercat custom exhaust can. 2.5" fit b/box to 4" outrolled tip. and cost £160.


I want to replace it soon with the correct prodrive one.

i wouldve had that off you if it were 3inch:cry:
