EvansJD2112 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I have the same headunit installed. The unit has the standard 2x front, 2x rear and 2x sub. So, not sure about the statement regarding connections. Perhaps they plugged the rear speakers into the sub output on the HU by mistake? The sub takes its feed from the rear speaker output. I lost FM totally why Installed the unit. DAB reception was pants as well with any of the internal aerials I tried. Tried glass and an amplified one. I eventually see the external FM aerial for a body mount DAB one. http://www.dabonwheels.co.uk/Kinetic_DBA-5001_DAB_car_aerial.html Now have full DAB signal all the time and no burble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvansJD2112 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 I have now noticed the cd and dvd disks are a bit hit and miss as well In what way? never used a DVD or CD in mine tbh, have it linked to an iPod Touch routed to where the bluetooth adapter used to be so either use that or DAB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvansJD2112 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Can't find any info on that. Sounds like a return to me. I would try another fitter as well if they couldn't work out the phono connections Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to buy a pioneer an-dab1 internal aerial but after reading your post I am questioning if that is best. Do you happen to know if the 350z standard aerial is amplified? I've seen these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/06-536-AUTOLEADS-CAR-RADIO-AERIAL-DAB-DAB-SPLITTER-SONY-PIONEER-JVC-ALPINE-/160923001331 which look like a nice solution but it said not for amplified systems.... Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvansJD2112 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Hi there. Yes, the standard Z aerial s amplified. The amp sits the other side of the aerial itself in boot space. Think my posts say it all, but before I fitted an external aerial reception was terrible. You could use a glass mounted external one. I just didn't want two aerials on the Z. http://www.dabonwheels.co.uk/ best place for aerial reviews etc. Sent from my SM-P600 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvansJD2112 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I tried this http://www.dabonwheels.co.uk/FM-AM_to_FM-AM-DAB_aerial_converter.html and it didn't work. Before I realised the Z aerial was amped. At least you checked first! Sent from my SM-P600 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meeerrrk Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Hi, thanks - that's one of the items I had looked at. Can you disconnect and therefore disable the amplification? Or is it a different type of aerial all together when amplified? Thanks for the reply. Mark Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meeerrrk Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 For anyone searching - I ended up fitting a windscreen mounted DAB aerial, seems good and constant reception. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
