radio reception problems
« on: 14 August 2007, 19:22:04 »
Right I think I have at last sorted the poor reception out on my radio . The stereo has been in and out like a yoyo in the last couple of days  >:( but at least it goes back in  ok  ;D The problem started the first time I took the original stereo out, since then its been a bit tempermental  :( when I fitted the head unit in I now have fitted I replaced the areial connector and all was ok for a couple of days since then its been in and out trying to sort it. Today I got a bit miffed with it not working again so pulled it out again and cut back the lead to reconnect but still not as good as it should have been ,so stripped it back a bit more and while doing this the center conductor pulled out of the insulation by about 5cm so I have now cut right back past this and reconnected it back together and it is the best it has been since I had the car. As the areial lead is very stiff/brittle I am thinking of replacing it question is does it go right back to the areial amp which if I am correct is located under the parcel shefl  :question

Hi, on mine (1999 2.5) the aerial connection is behind the kick panel in the drivers footwell, it has a special connector. You can't buy the piece of cable from Vauxhalls as it is part of the wiring loom. I bought a length of aerial cable with connectors and cut the original cable as far from the connector as possible, then grafted the new cable to it and fed it alongside the original to the back of the radio.

No problem getting bits to do the job just not sure where it goes to in the car it looks like it goes towards the passenger side though I may just leave it alone while its working  ;D
