Anyone here with after market radio noticed that AM/FM signal sucks!!! I can't pick up any station at all. The most is one the rest is just so bad that can't hear it.

Did you hook up the power antenna signal? Our glass antennas have a amplifier that needs a signal to turn on and off.

Conq,

Basically, what do i have to do to get it going? Do i need to provide a power source to the wire you show me?

Thanks.

It should be the blue wire coming out of your pioneer hu. Here's how it looks on my pioneer for reference. Connect it up to wire #5 on the harness above.

I had the same problem with my Kenwood Aftermarket receiver (KVT911dvd) I was never able to get it to pick FM up. It always sounded like it was picking up distortion from an electrical source. Spoke to Kenwood, who was of no help. The shop that did the install even had 2 Kenwood techs listen to it in the car and they could not figure out the problem.
I finally hooked a line output converter to the Bose unit and patched it into the auxillary input of the Kenwood. Sounds great and I have full use of the steering wheel controls to control the Bose as well as being able to use the 6cd changer.
