jaweir Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I just installed a new aftermarket radio, however after I hooked it up, I have no AM reception, normally not a big deal but I loose all my sports. The FM is just as bad as it usually was, but the now no AM. Any thoughts? Are there any boosters that would work for AM? Anyone else notice this problem?

jaweir Posted September 18, 2008 Author Share Posted September 18, 2008 I forgot to add... when disconnecting the stock radio, there were 3 connectors, one is the main wire harness, Speakers and Power, one was what looked to be a ground, but there was a third, any idea? did i mess up the AM because i did hook up the extra wire, or this third connector. I found this, http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/ItemBrowse/c-10101/s-10101/p-100000145002/mediaCode-ZX/appId-100000145002/Pr-p_CATENTRY_ID:100000145002 Does anyone have any experience with something like this? Thanks Again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sooberoo Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Third one is probably your antennae. The GT stereo has a different type of antennae connector than seen in your link. I beleive crutchfield has an adaptor kit available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opie Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Yes, the Legacy has a factory antenna booster, it uses the power antenna lead to power the booster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaweir Posted September 18, 2008 Author Share Posted September 18, 2008 Sooberoo - I have already installed the antenna adapter to go to a motorola style so that it will plug into my new radio. Opie - Do you know where the booster is so that i can run power to it? this helps a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaweir Posted September 18, 2008 Author Share Posted September 18, 2008 Better question, do you know what color the wire is on the legacy harness? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaweir Posted September 18, 2008 Author Share Posted September 18, 2008 I have done more digging and here is what we got, it's amazing what you can find on this forum as well as the rest of the net. The Power antenna line seems to be the key, I'll report on that tomorrow after i get a chance to hook it up and let you all know.

jaweir Posted September 19, 2008 Author Share Posted September 19, 2008 Got it!!! all it took was hooking up the Blue Power Antenna in the harness. I guess I skipped it. I was running my speed sensing cable. anyone know where that is? I have a color (Green and Black) but no location. Thanks everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
