Can someone tell me where you hook up the blue D-3 antenna control wire if you have an antenna booster? The radio that I took out did not have a wire on the radio that went to the booster but there is a second wire in the antenna cable that is hooked up to a line in the cars interior.

Does the blue wire send out +12VDC to turn on the booster?

 

Thanks

I could be wrong: If the wire on the ant is already connected to something in the car, then try it without hooking up the blue wire. See if you get a good radio am/fm signal.

What kind of car? Does it have a glass ant?

I have a glass mounted antenna. I have a booster.

The AM signal is gone with the D3. My guess is that I have to hook up the blue wire to the booster +12VDC. Where the wire is is another story. I have a 1995 Porsche 968. The booster in located in the passenger foot area. I am told that it is smaller that a cigarette pack. I'll trace the antenna coax to fine it. The D3 is now installed and it takes a lot of time to get the cables and D3 to fit, I do not look forward to another R&R.
