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..

 

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
