TT350 Posted November 12, 2016 Posted November 12, 2016 (edited) Yeah mine is awful too. Also pioneer app radio 2. Edited November 12, 2016 by TT350 Quote
Ekona Posted November 12, 2016 Posted November 12, 2016 Also, not getting Radio 1 is a good thing 2 Quote
Ekona Posted November 12, 2016 Posted November 12, 2016 Slightly more helpfully, check the connections round the back of the unit, and if it's still crap fit the OEM aerial again. 1 Quote
TT350 Posted November 12, 2016 Posted November 12, 2016 Also, not getting Radio 1 is a good thing It is. But in general it's usually a station everyone can get with no issue. 1 Quote

andy james Posted November 12, 2016 Posted November 12, 2016 Swapped my kenwood over to a pioneer DA120 and had crap reception on the radio with my Perrin stubby aerial. Tried the long pole free line Tuna catcher AKa the standard Nissan one to no avail! Is this a Pioneer problem or is the anologue signal being watered down so we are all forced to switch to DAB? Quote

Could be. My Focus has crappy reception too. Quote
Jetpilot Posted November 12, 2016 Posted November 12, 2016 The aerial on a 350z is powered, sure the positive supply is connected, some of the iso connectors seem to miss it off, had the same on a generic chinese unit with reception issues, it wasnt till I checked the iso and the positive supply was missing. 2 Quote
GMballistic Posted November 13, 2016 Posted November 13, 2016 I've got a pioneer head unit and reception is shocking. I can just about get radio one! I have a stumpy ariel Anyone else have this problem? I used to have a Pioneer head unit and a stubby aerial (2" long) on my Zed & the reception was fine. Maybe check what Jetpilot has suggested above. Quote
fishfire Posted November 13, 2016 Author Posted November 13, 2016 Jet pilot was bang on the money! For those still getting crappy reception check that the antenna power cable from the iso connector has power going to it! I had a second cable coming from the amp power cable coming from the head unit. I've just connected that to the antenna power cable and presto!! More radio stations than you can shake a stick at 2 Quote
