[cookie--monster]

i have heard in this forum that the r32s ariel is in the REAR glass..but if u look carefully at the front windscreen there is a tinygreen metallic wireembedded in the glass down the middle in a square shape to the passanger side...which one is it?

also which factory wire powers it?

On my R32 GTR the aeriel was in the front glass. I recently had the windscreen replaced and we just cut the wire and used a new windscreen without the aeriel from a local supplier ($190 fitted). To replace it I bought a 'hidden' aerial made by Aerpro which uses the rear demister grid as the aeriel. Cost $20 and about half an hour to fit.

What do you mean by diversity?

two antenna system. the factory radio will switch between them to get the best reception.

Sorry to bring this up again. I have a R32 GTR and an Alpine CDA-9853 head unit. when I installed in, there didn't seem to be a problem with the antenna cable fitting into the headunit.

But the reception is really crap, anytime there are tall buildings around I lose reception, if there are 2 antennas, one in the front window and one in the rear window, how do you connect them both up?

cheers.

from what i understand,the two glass antennas are hooked up to the single antenna cable but you also have to power them via your headunit;.the cable it connects to in the dash is apparently red and black..i think i have the right one though cant be sure.my stereo should be getting put in this weekend (finally) so i ll post back after i have a go.

cookie,

close. the diversity plug has two pins on it and the two antennas share a pin each. now when you buy the adapting plug that ties them both together . the wire I mentioned earlier turns the back one on.
