RBLUV Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 There is a thin strip that runs up the middle of your windscreen thats the first aerial..theres a second one on the rear window not sure where..it switches between each one to get better reception..confused why you have bad reception though =s Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/111623-where-is-the-aerial-in-r32s/#findComment-2058681 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr 32 Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 you need to hook up the booster to the power antenna up/down on the head unit Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/111623-where-is-the-aerial-in-r32s/#findComment-2059274 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruffels Posted March 30, 2006 Author Share Posted March 30, 2006 ohk well ive got an aftermarket headunit.. i installed all the basics like speakers, illumination, power, acc, and earth.. i plugged the aerial into the headunit.. but because i couldnt see an aerial anywhere on the car i just didnt use the power antenna wire on the headunit!... so what exactly is this booster that i have to connect the 12v power antenna wire form the headunit to? or is it something i need to buy? cheers -Mark Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/111623-where-is-the-aerial-in-r32s/#findComment-2059409 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Rogers Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 look for the blk/red wire in the radio harness. if you haven't got it connected you shouldn't have AM radio either. that wire powers teh amplifier. for the rear antenna. if you have metal tint on the rear change it as that affects the reception also.

=premo= Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 my R32 has very average radio reception, i think its beacause of the headunits booster cancelling out the cars aerial booster (Alpine head unit). im not realy fussed, theres nuthing good on radio anyway... except fresh fridaynite... rollers i think Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/111623-where-is-the-aerial-in-r32s/#findComment-2063839 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rifleman Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Could have my problem, window replaced. I Had a run in with an old man on the way home from JB HI-Fi. had my whole sound system installed, picked the car up and 100 meters down the road an old man who had escaped a aged care facility ran out on the road.
