Terrible Fm reception aftermarket radio/stereo
I read somewhere the antenna has a booster and needs power.I have 2007 Yaris.Something about connecting blue wire to ?
Hopefully someone knows waht the issue is.The stock deck had fantastic reception.Thanks |

there us a blue antenna lead like power antenna from your head unit. that should go to a blue wire from your antenna. yes the stock radio antenna needs this power to work.

Antenna
I do get fm stations but very bad range/reception.I will pull deck and see whats up.Thanks for reply.
I believe I need to use the power retractable antenna wire from headunit which is 12 volts. |

Black wire I believe. Long time since I'd done mine.

Should be blue or blue/white. I always get them mixed up. Your aftermarket head unit should only have 1 though. If the adaptor harness has both of those, just connect them both to the one.

From what I have read Its a known issue just not with yaris but other cars aswell using aftermarket headunit.
my headunit is a good quality Pioneer doubledin. I just dont use the radio. I did this but did not improve. http://www.custommagnums.com/forums/...nit-fixed.html |
