- If the radio reception is poor or nonexistent it may by caused by a faulty antenna amplifier which can be easily replaced.

Thanks . It works very well. It is nice of you to have the video.
Glad it helped
Worst way to connect wires. Using tape and loose wires without connectors in car applications is exactly the way you shouldn't be doing it. However, glad to see the ampilifier works. But the blue cable, as you said, powers with 12V. If you have an accident or the tape goes loose, connects the chassis, then hope your fuse fires early enough.
+LordDarthNihilus Hi there, you are perfectly right, but the above video is just to demonstrate the amplifier replacement and fix. The car had it's head unit stolen and some of the connectors where striped. The complete repair includes soldering and two layers of heat shrink tubing covering the joints.
Hi, can you tell us what exactly would happen if tape goes loose and connets the chassis?
I have an Altima that I want to try a good rf amp on...did the one you installed last? Where did you buy it? can you post a link or part number ect?
Thank you
hey, nice video. just have some questions... did it improve your signal? can the radio reach more frequencies with the amplifier turned on? how about background noise?
In this case the radio did not work at all, no stations. After replacement it worked normal.
What is that blue cable for? I have one, but i really don't know what i can connect it to.
Ahmed Al-Shehaib The blue wire is power supply for the amp.
Salut.Am un Citroen C4,iar de 9-10 luni am o receptie ff proasta a posturilor de radio in Bucuresti,cu intreruperi destul de dese si"fasituri" ca in video-ul tau.Da-mi te rog o idee,ce anume sa fac,sau ce este nevoie sa cumpar,ca ma omoara sa nu pot asculta radioul in masina.Eventual un link de unde pot cumpara un amplificator de semnal bun.Multumesc anticipat.Dan.
Thanks
which cable from iso plug is it (yellow,blue or blue and white)?
+Shojin187 In my case it was blue, but it's an after market radio also the wiring was partial destroyed after a theft event and a lot of wires where pulled out or broken.
is that extra cable for antenna amp a plus or a negative ?
Robota zrobiona "fachowo" !
Hello, nice video ,would I ask some question ? my radio shut off and on every seconds ..... ?
Thanks
Check all wires and connectors, maybe something is loose.
Thank you
@@chhunving3776 I know this comment was two years ago but wanted to add in. If you have installed an aftermarket radio and are trying to use the wiring available at the VW radio, you will be hard pressed to find an accessory line. This is the voltage line for powering on the radio when the ignition is switched on. You'll want to bring in your own switched accessory line from the fuse box - my choice anyway. the accessory on at the radio is not a constant voltage supply when powered on but rather a signal "ON" hence causing an on off on off etc....
the "amplifier" or 12V injector has a blue wire. Where is that wire connected?
where do i have to connect the blue wire ???
+Abdul Ghaffar Depends on your radio
and what about the red wire in the base of amplified antenna ?
I don't know what wire are you talking about.
the red wire from the roof antenna guide.alibaba.com/shop/16v-roof-antenna-audi-opel-seat-skoda-vw-golf_4951892.html
I think that supplies power (+12V) to feed the amplifier.
ya some how sure for that but hope to know where to connect it !any how thanks man
incase anyone interesting for what I asked, I fount black wire from main stereo harness and you should connect it to the new head unit stereo ( blue 12v + antenna ) wire
It is not the amplifier, that part just puts 12v into antenna line so the amplifier in the base of the antenna can function.
Yes and no, there are some active power splinters that also provide basic signal boosting also.
+TechTronic9000 What you are installing is not an amplifier and I doubt there are actual amplifiers to be behund the radio (unless somebody made them to make money by exploiting naiveness of the people) because you won't benefit from an amplifier next to radio. Signal amplifiers must be next to antenna and they are used to overcome the losses in the long cable. If there is signal coming till radio, radio can pick it up, if the signal is so low that radio can't use it, then amplifier also can't amplify non existent signal.(therefore it is useless to have amplifier next to radio)
Will this help with receiving fm/am stations properly because I just placed a after market stereo in my car and everything works except you can still hear some static on some stations plus now my antenna won't rise up since it's been in any help on that.
+Jackiieboii Wang It also acts as a filter for the antenna so it's possible to have an impact on static noise.
One of the blue wires should say remote antenna. You needed to connect that to your radio for the antenna motor to work
this video has nothing to do with fixing the AM booster module in the rear hatch...
+alau18 No, it deals with the filter / booster for the FM antenna.
Why the music? Would be much better with a commentary of what's going on.
Thank you for the feedback. This in one of my old videos, now I have voice over detailed explanations on all my uploads.
THIS IS THE POWER CABLE FOR AMPLIFIER NOT THE AMPLIFIER
+y22dtr1 The round silver case you see on the wire is the radio amplifier and as specified in the title of the video it's the amplifier for the antenna signal.
That is the piece that makes the ac power not to turn back on the radio and burn it.the amplifier os positioned on the antena în the back od the car man
+y22dtr1 Not really, there are REAL radio signal amplifiers instead of "fake" power filters, have a look at this picture: i.ebayimg.com/images/g/Bo0AAOSwmrlU1Bkn/s-l1600.jpg
