Hi folks.

Iv recently had a sony stereo fitted but the reception is shocking and I cant receive many stations (my original wasnt very good tbh).
Just wondered if there is a fix to this without having another aerial fitted.

mines is pish as well but u can buy signal booster things from decent i.c.e places,
(have you used the correct plugs? it needs to have really good connection)

Yes i have good quality plugs etc but like I say the original one was poor at the best of times, will give a booster a try.

Where is the aerial, is it incoporated in the rear window glass?

stig wrx

thats an idea!( mines is one pillar but check connections are clean on window frame. also has it been tinted? this can cause probs with reception also

will check any contacts around the window (if it is there..lol) the glass is not tinted.

stig wrx

its either there or in the boot im not to sure with ur car but it does sound like (or not sound like lol) a bad contact somewhere
good luck

did you connect the blue electric aeriel wire to the headunit?
The scoob has a signal booster that needs powering up.

If youve got the ariel in the rear glass as I have theres not a lot you can do to improve the reception. I had the same problem in the WRx and still got it in the STi any decent ice installers will tell you that ariels in the rear window are pants even on mercs.
Sorry that doesent really help apart from stopping you spending money on boosters etc, the only way round it is to fit an external ariel.
Good luck
