this is kind of funny. i put my HU in at the install day right? well i didn't try the radio until this weekend, and it don't work (gasp!) i've been in iPod world since the install i just took the dash apart at lunch and the antenna IS hooked up. so my question is, are the window antennas "powered"? i didn't hook that wire up when i did the harness, mainly because it didn't look like there was a wire for it. is it powered like an antenna that goes up and down or what?
The window Antennas should not be powered. Are you getting any stations, or is every channel just fuzz. I can't see needing to hook up the power. That is just to tell the antenna to go up or down when you have a retractable antenna as you turn the Stereo on or off.
try hooking all the blue wires up on your harness. The solid dark blue is your power antenna, and the blue with white is amp turnon. Anywayz if you dont hook that up sometimes you will have an issue. My car doesnt even have an antenna so atleast you can get am/fm haha.
yeah. i took the whole thing out and looked at every wire. i disconnected and reconnected the antenna wire. the only wire from the kwnwood harness is the blue/white cable that would go to my amp. my amp is tied in with the red power wire. every single station fm&am has a hiss. not even a POP. just hissssssss. i do have a wire from the subaru harness that's labled power antenna, its orange. maybe i have the wrong kenwood to subaru harness? i don't know.
No, you have the right harness. That harness should be good for all Subaru Models from 99 to Present or something like that. You said you have the Blue with White Strip not hooked up? Isn't that run to the Remote for your Amp, if not, how is your amp turning on?
whats tied in with the red one? red is your switched power it should NOT be put witht hat on the radio harness. Thats your problem right there most likly.
i have the amp's power tied in with red along with the radio's power. we did that before we found out the ground was my issue with the amp's power at the install day. if that make any sense. i'll pull it again. if i can't get it to work tonight, i'll take photos or something.
hmm.....Randy where doy ou live? maybee i can take a look at it. I can even get to the sog g2g a little early if needed.
i brought everything i need to install a HU to work today. lunch time project so if i can't get it to work, i might just have to pull it apart at SOG for you to gander at it. thanks for the offer, Brian.
Update: So, the antenna, like, does need power. Who knew? anyway, thanks for the help. i can now take a 05' dash apart in 1 min. now. so next install, let me know if you need help. Crazy, that's the sig EVER!!!! i love her. is that wrong?
