i have recently fitted a jvc headunit in my car and the aerial signal is very weak. its not the area i live in because when i try my dads car the signal is very strong

anyone have ideas how i can improve

Ta

by the way its a mk4 polo 1997

I believe the mk4 are amped ariels, when oyu fit a new head unit, if you dont get the adapter for the apmed arieal, it actually blocks the signal more

you need to buy an aerial booster mate, if you search ebay u'll discover that vag vehicles need this after installing an aftermarket radio...

says you'll also need one of these - http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/aerial-adaptor-p-210.html

however my headunit came with one so may get away without

it's powered by the "auto antenna" feed from the headunit

aieral boosters are available at halfords for about 10 - 13 quid. they are fitted inline between your stereo and car arial and have a seperate wire for power which just needs to be joined to your remote lead. usually blue

I'm already using the remote lead for the amp, how else do i connect it?
