Hi,

The only wire left on my metra harness is the blue/white one, which is supposedly the 'Amp Ground' wire. The Power Antenna wire is supposed to be solid Blue (based on the legend provided by Metra at the back of the package), and I do not have a solid blue wire on the metra wire harness at all.

I do though have the vehicle antenna adapter cable as seen below. One end plugs directly into the system, but i am confused as to where to connect the blue wire that is right beside it. My guess is to attach it to the wire harness provided by AVIC that is labelled Antenna Control as seen below.

PLEASE HELP!!!

Hook up blue and blue/white on the adaptor harness to the blue/white on the deck in order for the MSN service to get good reception on all sources. Just leave the solid blue on the deck alone.

sorry i am confused by what you said...

i only had a solid one on the deck....the one labeled "ANtenna control"...

and my only blue/white is on the metra harness...

Please clarify your instructions.

Based on what you said, i understand that i have to hook up the blue on the antenna adapter to the blue/white on the metra harness and leave the solid blue labeled "antenna control" alone..is that correct? OR is there somehting that i am missunderstanding.

THANKS!!

I'm in the same exact boat with my 08 outback sport. I wasn't sure what to do so I didnt hook them up. FM seems fine but I cannot get some AM stations. MSN direct hardly gets a signal.

crap!!

i am really looking forward to MSN Direct..so i want to hook it up correctly...

PLEASE HELP>...

anyone at allll????

You need to connect the blue antenna wire you have coming out of the Pioneer harness to the blue antenna wire you have coming out of your antenna adapter. Leave the blue/white wire coming out of your Metra harness hangin', as you're bypassing that by performing the above connection.

once again i appreciate all of your help!!

I cant wait until saturday for installing it. Eveyrhting is prewired already!!

Got pics of some of the process if anyone is interested later.

is there a better (certain) way of connecting the blue wires together due to the different tip of the antenna control wire from the avic harness? or as long as the metal is connecting to a wire it should be fine??

THANKS!!
