bird333 Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 I just installed a N-4 and I don't get any audio from ANY radio stations. The signal seems to be coming in (i.e. the word 'stereo' shows up). I did the video bypass. I didn't connect the blue power antenna wire because my antenna is built into the rear window. I played a CD and I can hear it fine (well one speaker is not playing but that is probably a bad connection). Car '96 Honda Accord Any ideas? Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Julius Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 Hook up the blue antenna power wire.Your rear window antenna has an amplifier/booster that needs power to amp the am/fm signal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bird333 Posted September 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 Ok, I hooked up the blue wire but it didn't change anything. Reading in this thread http://avic411.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12834 it seems I should hook up the blue/white wire to the antenna. Is this correct? The Avic-N4 install guide seems contridictory. For the blue/white wire it says 'Do not connect this lead to auto-antenna control terminal' for the blue wire it says, 'If vehicle has glass antenna, connect to the antenna booster power control terminal' Also, I plan on running two amps. If I connect the blue/white wire to the antenna, do I just split off this wire for the remote turn-ons for my amps? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Julius Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 The blue/white wire is for the amps and yes you can split it for the 2 amps.The blue wire is for the antenna.Everything should be hooked up correctlyand running.Are you sure your antenna end is snuggly fitted in the antenna slot?

bird333 Posted September 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 No, I meant if I used the blue/white cable for the antenna could I also use it to turn on two amps? I assume you mean the big black antenna cable. I will double check it. The guy in the other thread seemed to have success with the blue/white cable?? The blue/white wire is for the amps and yes you can split it for the 2 amps.The blue wire is for the antenna.Everything should be hooked up correctlyand running.Are you sure your antenna end is snuggly fitted in the antenna slot?

bird333 Posted September 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 I checked the antenna cable, it seems fine. It works fine with the stock radio I took out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Julius Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Other people have problems with the radio signals on the pioneer units, why I don't know.You can try the hook-up.It shouldn't hurt anything and yes you can still split the blue/white wire from the antenna to the amp.
