ARSENAL79PLACE Posted June 23, 2012 Report Posted June 23, 2012 Morning All, I am hoping somebody may be able to point me in the right direction to solve a radio signal issue with my Galaxy. First of all it used to be a Police vehicle and may have stolen the aerial somehow but how to i find out. I have checked the aerial on the roof and the fixings which all seem fine. The lead then dissapears under the roof lining and out of sight. Where should i look next. I was going to remove stereo and check the aerial lead? Any other ideas or things to check? All advice welcome Thanks Andy Quote
seatkid Posted June 23, 2012 Report Posted June 23, 2012 (edited) If your car is a mk 1 or 2, the antenna is embedded in the glass of the offside rear quarter window. Check the connection to the window. After market radios may not work well as I think the antenna requires a power feed. If your car is a ford galaxy mk3 then you need to post your query in the mk 3 section Edited June 23, 2012 by seatkid Quote

bj2004 Posted June 24, 2012 Report Posted June 24, 2012 Its Probably a two way coms or data antennaYou could always use it for a cb radio Quote

The aerial on the roof is that not how the radio gets it's signal?? There is a black lining on the rear offside quarter with a small black connecter at the top of the window and this seems connected.... Should i pull the radio out and check for connections behind it?? Thanks Andy Quote
bj2004 Posted June 25, 2012 Report Posted June 25, 2012 Yes sorry thats a good start remove the radio and see what antenna is connected in the galaxy radio antenna is pretty poor but does work you may find that the one on the roof does come down to the radio and will probably be better than the one in the rear windowI believe the galaxy uses a signal booster it may be this isnt working Mirez will know better than i if you need more help just ask Quote
