Title: mk5 golf radio power antenna wire
Post by: axsweb on October 17, 2013, 05:17:51 pm

i installed a aftermarket headunit in my car. its a sony xav bt601 and the radio reception is really bad. i bought the radio adapter and it has a blue wire for the amplified antenna but my headunit does not have a wire coming out of it for powered antenna. in this case where do i connect it to?
 :confused:

Or a switched live from the fuse box and fuse it!

Better be safe.
