I'm no audio wizard - if the previous owner replaced the stereo unit, added an amp, subwoofer, etc.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi guys,
I have not been getting really good signals from the radio ... its always giving me static like sounds but when i play CDs, the sound is excellent. So there isnt any problems with the speakers. Any ideas? At the same time, anyone has any suggestions for speaker upgrades?
Cheers
Alvin
The antenna amplifier (located in the passenger side a-pillar) would be the item with which I would start. Many people have had to change them.
I have a fully upgraded system with Boston Acoustic speakers (front and rear) and like it very much.
My radio reception sucks too.. I'll have to check out that antenna amplifier.. So, for now I just listen to my iPod.
I'm no audio wizard - if the previous owner replaced the stereo unit, added an amp, subwoofer, etc. Would the antenna also be replaced in that process or would the new unit just tie into the car's original antenna?
I happen to be in the process of fixing a similar problem. Just purchased the car and realized that AM is all static even though FM played fairly well. Car has an aftermarket radio/nav (pioneer avic-z1) and whoever installed it did a number of wrong things. Anyway, the antenna amplifier wasn't hooked up to any power source. Once connected to the radio's antenna activate, reception improved for both bands and AM is no longer static.
By the way, the antenna amplifier wire is white in the black connector.
The antenna amplifier is located in the right side A-pillar. The wire and connector I'm referring to is plugged into the back of your radio and/or behind the radio. It runs along with the antenna coax to the amplifier.
Gonna get my workshop to check the antenna out at the end of the month. Are there any upgrades for the antenna to get better signal thus better sound? At the same time, should i check for anything else?
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
