I am having trouble with FM stations it appears that i am losing singal strenght my antenna is in my back window i am wondering if this is the cause of my problem with stations being weak, I am also wondering if i need to hook up the blue antenna wire from unit, or am i getting interference from some where, I made sure that all my connection were nice and tight, on the display of unit i am only seeing two to three bars , I used the program to lock in the station but still having problems

please help

yes the blue antenna wire sends 12v to ur antenna.... if you have car amps it is also used as a turn on switch

so I do not need to hook up blue antenna wire to 12 supply?

no, thats not how you hook that up anyway. the blue wire supplies 12v to the antenna amplifier in some cars or it turns on the motor of a power antenna. did you hook up the blue/white from the avic to the green/red in the radio harness?

I am not sure I will check tomorrow and let you know, If I did not hook up would that cause my problem

probably not, but its worth a shot, and make sure you plugged the antenna lead in all the way
