Just grave digging here, I am having problems with my antenna reception on an aftermarket deck in my bug STI. I traced the wire to passenger A pillar, then lost it, so I am assuming it runs along the roof lining and to the back de-mister.

just at Kato's post above, where am I hooking up the power antenna wire too?

Cheers

I have same issue in my peanut. I have an after market deck and the radio wire is plugged in and I have no tint. Still very shitty reception.

Well I bought a stealth one from hong kong, but the bloody wire isn't long enough to mount it above the rear view mirror :S and the reception is really good with that one. I'll give it another go today and see if I can fix the problem....I'll let you know if I find anything that can help you too

Ahhh, welcome to the world of in window antenna's in Suby's.
The reception was never as good as a traditional aerial.
THats why new Forester, Impreza, and WRX/STI have little shorties on the roof.
I would get one of the antenna deletes that they sell for GC8 or Bugeyes (Grimmspeed?)
that stick to your windscreen.
That should solve it.

EDIT: ^^^^ same as above really

The rear window antenna requires 12V to boost it up. Your aftermarket deck should have a 'power antenna' output line. On my old MY05 this would connect to the factory solid white wire (iirc).

Tinted windows were ok, if you are having very poor reception there is a problem that needs checking.

Check here for what seems a decent thread on it.

Much appreciated Kato, has been irritating me for a while now....I originally thought I had damaged the antenna due to its location and where my amp power cable comes through the fire wall. I will give it a shot today and should be sweet
