I'm replacing my Bose system. What do I do with the antenna amp? Is it part of the Bose stuff? If I do get rid of it, do I need a new cable from the antenna to the HU?

Jusst wanna make sure I have all the parts before I get started.

If you ditch the antenna amp, your FM reception will suck. You will need to supply it with a 12vdc pwr source to turn it on.

 

Is the antenna amp part of the Bose system or always there? The new HU doesn't say anything about using an antenna amp.

the antenna booster is always there, independent of the Bose system or any of its components

 

Thanks

 

Np

 

yea u need to use the amp or you get crappy reception...its just one blue wire to connect from the aftermarlet hu to the nissan harness..thats all

 

Damn is this why my FM reception sucks? Which blue wire, its on the nissan side of things?

 

im pretty sure it says "amp turn on" on the nissan side of the harness and something like "power antenna" on the after market huharness..... u need to conect them...wat kind of hu do u have?

 

Pioneer DEH-P9800BT

 

yea u gotta hook up those blue wires

 

D'oh! I wondered why my "supertuner 3" wasn't tuning in anything but the strongest stations ...

 

yea i had the same problem for a while...good luck with your install!

 

Great info, thanks so much.
