New Deck Small Problem
Hello All,
Iinstalled my new Pioneer Deck last night and it sounds great. I am surprised how much better the factory speakers sound with a aftermarket deck VS the factory one.
How ever i do have 2 small problems i hope someone can help me with.
1) On the wire harness i purchased for the factory harness ( NOT THE DECK HRNESS) the is a wire called POWER ANTANA nd on the harness for the deck there is no wire calledd that Do i jus leave it be o an i supost to wire it to some thing else?
2) My second problem might have something to do with my frist I have evry little to no radio reception. With the factory deck i had great recption but not know. And before some one asksYES i did pug the antana in to the new deck.
Can any one pease help me out?
Thanks

Do a search for "radio reception" or the like.
The xB uses a powered antenna as Improbcat said and needs this connected to +12v. I cannot remember exactly which wires they were. Lots of posts on this will help you out.

Check and make sure :
A) you have the correct wire hooked up. I *believe* there is a blue AND a blue w/yellow or white trace.
B) Make sure with a DMM that there is +12v there when you turn the car on.

Ya, my bad there! Black/Red!
I used the wiring diagram for an '04 xB (Thanks Jeff/bB2NER!) and it was "B R". A meter will be the key. Needs to be hot with the acc'y on OR radio on.
