Help with 2001 Corolla RunX stereo wiring

[snwtoy]

Hai guyz

Installed a brand new Pioneer 6950IB in the runx about 9 months ago, and the radio reception has been really poor - 91fm cuts in and out if I drive down the street etc. I didn't hook up any aerial booster (aerial is a black stubby thing on the roof) so thought this was the issue.

So, today I finally got round to hooking up what I thought was the booster wire, but it hasn't made any difference. What I did was connect the black wire to acc power.

Have I done it right? :/

The only pink wire is a speaker wire. There is like a min-plug aerial cable as well that isn't connect - think this might have been for gps or something

The only other option I've got is a green wire, but that's typically illumination.

Are pioneer stereos just the fail when it comes to radio reception? I didn't think so.


Are there aftermarket reception boosters available? This is really pissing me off.

Argh.

Fixed it!

There were remnants of the old touchscreen gps/kettle/fying pan/irons your pants for you in japanese.

The aerial was routing through this (which I did know) but what I didn't know before was there was a proper aerial plug and socket inline with the cabling going to this thing. It was hiding behind some other shit. When I discovered this I unplugged the aerial and routed straight into the stereo.

MAGIC!

Hehe, that wouldn't have worked for me. No aerial booster was required.
