Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

2 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi, I have a 2004 Turbo (most/bose). The fm reception has always been bad. I am replacing the head unit and the fm is non existing (using a fakra to din adapter). I read about the radio amplifier and it seems the white wire going into A5 in the factory harness is relevant. Though i am a bit confused about how it powers the amp. Unlike all the other sockets in the A plug (which deliver power TO the head unit)...does this one take power out to the amp? If so, what typically supplies the power. I am guessing that it should be supplied from any present ignition on 12v? Right? Also, i am replace the fakra adapter with a new one with a built in a amp...is there any issue with having two amps? P.s. i know i may find that the factory fm amp is dead...as i had a bad signal before and these apparently have issues. Many help in advance. Regards Karl

I connected the white wire that goes to the aerial amp to the switched 12v going into the back of the head unit. I now get 12v at the amp end. It seems to make no difference to the signal, I wonder if my aerial amp is borked too.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
