Radio reception

Hi all,

As mentioned in one of my other posts, I just picked up a new Alpine head-unit. However, after driving around the radio reception seems to be pretty poor. The Becker unit was MUCH better. I get a lot of white noise, fading, etc.

I know quite a few people have installed Alpines in their Boxsters - does anyone else have this issue? What manufacturers (Sony, Kenwood, Pioneer, etc) work well in Boxsters? I know the windscreen antenna isn't the best, but the Becker (which was probably designed for it) is able to work very well so there must be an aftermarket brand that has comparable sensitivity...

Thanks!

Okay, does anyone know how the Antenna Amplifier on Sheet 14, grid A132 works? From the diagram it gets it's power-on signal from pin 5 on the ISO connector ("Power Antenna"). This lead is correctly hooked up, but I don't know it the amplifier is turning on (considering reception is so poor).

Does anyone know where this Antenna Amplifier is physically located so I can check it directly?

Thanks!
