So, I'm at a loss now. I have checked the blue lead (5 times now). I have run an independent 12V from the battery to the amplified antenna. I have checked that the power lead from the Metra kit is also connected, and I still get static FM, and in and out reception. I guess my other option is to run a totally independent AM/FM antenna? Anyone have any recommendations? TIA

Ya the blue wire is connected, that's not the issue.

Well using just the 12 volt accessory wire didn't help. I guess I can go with trying a completely independent 12 volt, but other than that what could it be? A bad antenna cable?

I'm willing to try anything that might solve this. TIA

For steering wheel control... yes? Would this have anything to do with intermediate static FM reception?

I have the unit hooked up so it only turns on with the car (I think it was yellow to yellow). For the antenna I have it connected to the blue powered antenna wire out of the Pioneer.

About 4 months back I installed an F90BT in my 2006 A4. Since then I have not been able to solve the intermittent FM reception problem. My stock Symphony head unit never had an issue with FM reception, however ever since installing the F90, the FM reception constantly goes in and out. I am using the powered antenna adapter. I have actually tried multiple versions of the powered adapter (Metra 40-VW53, Metra 40-VW54, and even a non powered adapter. Anyone have any recommendations? TIA
