I assume that you already have the 5700tv installed. It is simply replacing your current antennas with the new ones. You just have to connect the porvided power plug into the cigarette lighter. To give it a cleaner install, you would splice into a power source that is control by the accessories ignition switch.

I have it temporarily installed because I am trying to find the best location for the best reception. The antennas require 12 volts and it comes with a cigarette lighter plug connector. The antenna connection just plug into the 5700 unit directly.

I finally received and installed the Pyle PLVWAN6 Powered Diversity TV Antenna to the 5700tv tuner. It does help in receiving weak signals, but the picture still flickers while (hypothetically) driving and much less than with the antennas that came with the unit. Standing still the pictures come in clearer and I can pick up one more NY channel (FOX). I think the flickering will always be there when moving and I am willing to put up with it. So the powered diversity antenna seems to be ok for me.

I will post the results when I get the new amplified diversity antennas. I am not expecting clear pictures all the time but to reduce the annoying channel drifting in and out would be nice.

I tried the BSSM setting and it does not improve reception. I tried to move the diversity antennas around and it helps. But as soon as I start driving it drifts which is what I expected. That indicates that the signal is weak to begin with. So I may try to use an antenna with a preamplifier. In the installation manual, it mentioned about using pioneer's AN-G3 amplied antenna if the signal is weak.

From what I read in the Z1 manual, the BSSM is used to store the strongest 12 stations. I also read somewhere that the 5700 will automaticaly switch to the diversity antenna that provides the strongest signal. Based on this information, I didn't think of setting the BSSM frequently to force the unit to select an antenna sorce, but I will give it a try.

I just installed the 5700 and find it ok to watch. The stations that I pull in are from NY City (~35 miles away) but I can't get CBS and NBC stations. The other channels come in sometimes clear and sometime fuzzy while driving. I bought the 5700 knowing the reception can be fuzzy at times. Did anyone consider getting new diversity antennas with an amplifier? You can get them on ebay.

I did not connect the green wire and it works fine. I also have the Z1 and the Ducati bypass.

I'll try it without connecting the green wire. Thanks.

I have the Ducatiboy bypass flasher installed on the Z1 and didn't connect the green wire to anything. I was referring to the green wire connection on the 5700 tuner.

I just bought the 5700 from the local 6Ave store for $246 + tax. Reading through the installation manual, I noticed it requires the "green wire" connection to the brakes. Can I just permanently ground that wire or do I need to put it on a switch? I am connecting it to the Z1 with no rear monitor.

Where did you order the 5700?

The 5700 will work with the Z1. Check with pioneerelectronics.com [url=http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pna/v3/pg/product/details/0,,2076_310069685_236548445,00.html]http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pna/v ... 45,00.html[/url] I think this unit is a bit expensive. Has anyone consider other tuners on the market? Is it worth the extra bucks compared to other tuners on the market? Any installers out there who can comment on the differences?

Here's an idea. Drive slower and drive closer to the speed limit. You wll save money from buying a radar detector, jammer, fines, and increase insurance premiums. When I had a radar detector, I got more tickets than without it. The cops always found a way to nail me and knew I had a radar detector which didn't go well with the judge. I accumulated enough points that the judge made me go to a driving safety class. Just my experience and thoughts.

There's always a wise ass in the crowd. Call the local 6Ave store (if there is one near by) and ask them to help you and tell them that you bought it from 6Ave. If the problem is the Z1, they should honor the waranty. Give it a try, you never know.
