Where Is The Aerial?

[bigdave982]

Hi all. on a 97 tdi galaxy ,where will I find the other end of the aerial.I mean Ive got the radio end ,but reception is so Cr*p(poor!!)I thought id be better off wiv a bee sting on the top ,trouble is I cant find anything in the haynes book about where the cable is routed . So Im not sure whether to stick one on the roof at the front or back of the car

 

Cheers ,I just know someone will know ,you know

removed my info on the matter above due to vr6 taking the piss yet again

i may not bother with helping any one out in the futuer as it's not worth

being hassled by vr6 the f-ing twat.

can someone like a moderator have a word with him

As del so eloquently puts it :o if you have a none OE head unit you will need a booster to power the OE in line aerial amp, if you have an OE head unit and the signals crap again as del says, check the connection on the drivers side rear pop out window? or it depends on what radio station your listening to? radio 1 ? err thats not your radio :lol: it generally sounds like crap!

the cable I believe is routed along the drivers side sill in amongst the rest of the loom :lol:

Its non OE head unit ,came off of svp.com ,bargian!!!!radio 2 is fine but virgin it just wont have any of !!

Does the booster you speak ofgo onto the back of the radio ,or the aerial booster at the rear window,?

Also any idea where to get one as Halfords round here are staffed by 12 yr olds that think everyone should have a saxo fully loaded with ripoff .oops ripspeed stuff

Plugs into the rear of the radio and picks up a power supply from one of the connections on the back, OE head units have a built in power lead that powers the aerial amp hence the loss of signal with a none OE head unit

and vr is spot on the booster just plugs into the radio and the aerial then the wire is connected to power ant feed ot ignition if the ant feed is not there

i done a reply to the original question that was fine

as it gave the info that vr6 put up after but

he worded it better & put down my post

that's why i removed it & will not post here again due to him but

i will reply with private messages instead.

vr6galaxy has got this thing about slagging peoples post reply it seems

i hope this clears things m8

del plz stop throwing your toys out of the pram as been said on various other posts we are all at times in the wrong(yes even me :wub: )for being flippent and general pi%% taking,i no if i give it it is given light heartedly,and i will receive it the same,its certainly not worth beating yourself up about it,

FOR CHRIST SAKE YOUR A GROWN MAN DEAL WITH IT

 

and if there was a poll here for us to choose between the 2 members who seem to have upset one another i think you would be embrassed to see the result.

 

we all come on here to try and help one another and save our presious cash and not squander it at the stealers,as far as im concerend any info is good info if it makes people happy or laugh.

 

i try to help people out here with my limited ammount of knowledge on cars as i can.

 

i work in the building industry as a carpenter and joiner,i have the urine extracted out of me nearly everyday of the week,i certainly dont go crying to my mummy.

 

;) CHILL ;)
