2012 YARIS HB poor radio reception - Toyota Yaris Forums

The new antenna is in and installed - it was worse than the factory one... Ugh.
Does anyone know if the 2012 is a boosted (powered) antenna?

The service manual says it is powered, but the wiring diagrams don't show the power connection to the antenna amplifier, as the 06-11 wiring diagrams do.

The amplifier is shown as being part of the antenna base (as with the 06-11).

I recently purchased a headunit from a 2013 to install in my 09. The radio reception was horrible on it as compared with the stock 09 headunit and I finally spent some time troubleshooting it and found that the 2013 HU did not output power on the black wire of the blue connector, so I jumped ignition switched power to that wire and now my radio reception is back to as good as it was with the original HU.
