I have the same issue in my 2002 wrx, very poor reception, I know the power antenna cable from the deck isnt connected to anything. (I remember checking recently)
So, Im assuming there should be a corresponding wire in the wiring harness for the desk from the car that should be a power antenna?

Nah, the deck wire still has the tag on it, its a new deck, but I never saw one to match it in the car, guess I didnt look hard enough

Sorry I read it wrong first time, still haven't had a coffee

Do 02 WRX's have power antenna's or is it the same as the sti and it's in the rear glass? I got perfect reception (almost) all the way to Cataby in my 02 sti

The antenna is in the rear glass, thing is, when I had the stock deck, I got perfect reception. I firstly had an Alpine deck put in (out my old car) and I had little to no reception, unless I was close to perth (or the stations transmitter) The deck worked fine in the previous car.
I recently put in a new JVC deck, and still have the same problem. Cant figure out why the stock deck had good reception, but both these decks dont, but do in other cars.



lol sorry to Hi-jack WRP10_85
