07blkfx4 Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 I did a search to try to get some help but the other problems posted seemed a little different from mine. I just had an F900BT installed in my 2007 F150. The reception for both AM & FM is terrible. I have a seperate Sirius tuner in the truck & the install shop said that was causing my problem so they replaced the FM direct connect adapter as well as the Sirius cradle. The reception is still just as bad even if I turn the Sirius off & remove it from the cradle. My truck has a standard, stick out of the hood, antenae. Any suggestions on what to try? Thanks for the help. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PeterUbers Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 I'm assuming the reception of your stock radio was good: is there a chance that the installer did not connect the antenna to the Pioneer unit correctly? Sometimes an adapter is necessary to interface your OEM antenna with the aftermarket headunit -- this may be defective or loose... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
