Fitting a car Radio signal Amplifier

[@johnrjohnsonjr]

This is the best showing of a car amplifier antenna lol I will get 1 now

[@ENRI15]

Gracias, muy buen video, me ha servido de ayuda. Efectivamente a mi tambien me ha mejorado muchisimo la recepcion de emisoras en mi Autoradio. Muy barato y de calidad. Espero que me dure mucho tiempo.

[@Hellofa6ird]

2:25 On that particular supplied harness there is a wire labelled 'Auto Ant' and/or 'Amp' on the harness ...I believe that'll give you your switched live as well...nice upload tho

[@andyroid5028]

Obviously, this video footage was captured sometime around Christmas. 😊 _Thanks for the detailed instructions! Your video absolutely saved me LOTS of time. It was easy & it seems to work just fine._ _I just wonder how long it will last? I bet it fails after a couple of years... but hopefully we'll be luckier than that._ 😮 BTW, I bought the same exact booster (same model #: ANT-208) from TEMU. It was about (U.S.) $7. The instructions were 'OK'... but your video filled in the gaps. 👍🏼 *THANKS AGAIN, SIR... from Georgia, USA.* 👍🏼🇺🇲

[@mattt1974UK]

Thanks, I have a similar radio unit and find the radio quality very frustrating. I'm thinking of getting the one that supports DAB as well as FM.

[@scandalinbohemia]

Great video. Thanks. Think it will help me sort my bad FM at last. 👍

[@dronephantom2649]

Looking like you have a active antenna, the tube looking thing on your antenna cable is a bias tee, used to feed 12 Volt to your antenna, important that the cable on that thing is connected to 12 volt

Thank you very much, Giving me the information what I searched for long time, jah bless

[@1506pinkers]

A very helpful video. Many thanks.

[@Neaskemenna68]

Good video, i could not find this one when i was researching for mine. I did order one similar to this from Amazon shortly after installation of an Android headunit but it didn't make any difference. I've kind of given up getting a signal comparable to the original radio.

[@asr1904]

I have the same problem, I installed an android radio on my mother in law car, bought this amplifier antenna and the signal still shit, I told her to install a radio app and use it with the Apple CarPlay instead.

[@Neaskemenna68]

@@asr1904 I've went the same route. Does the job...

[@kamilwalewski8533]

Thank you very much. I didn't know how to do that, now it looks pretty easy 👍

I have a BMW X1 2012 and I can't find the aerial connection socket behind the BMW professional head unit. Is there another way of attaching the aerial by hard wiring in.

[@aliaqeeli3632]

Thank you for this useful video

[@AndyWaldengrandaddymc71]

Hi iv got one of those head unit but when I connect up to Dacia duster I have no sound from Head unit

[@AndyWaldengrandaddymc71]

Can you please give me some advice on getting sound from the unit please

Very Nice. Exactly what I was searching for. Cheers 🍻

[@MTAbing]

Will this fit in hyundai venue top model?

[@billyshepard5514]

I heard these make AM worse while helping the FM signal. How is AM?

[@diyandmetaldetecting]

The cheap Chinese 2din radio I've got doesn't have Am only FM

[@PeterStewart-f9h]

Can two of these boosters be connected to the same radio for even better signal strength?

[@rezaarjmand7866]

no.

[@petroflorence7962]

You already have booster long silver 1 see down below this is same coz I ordered 1

[@diyandmetaldetecting]

The part I fitted still made a big improvement on the signal compared to what it was

[@jamie-hb8gy]

Why didn't you just use the blue "remote" wire???

[@nromasein6787]

What can i do for my car Radio if my car Radio programme only for receiving individual signal channel and i need solothion for receiving ather channels

[@diyandmetaldetecting]

I dont know I'm afraid...I'm not a pro just showing what I done to improve my radio channel signal ... have you tried a better ariel

[@mickybradley7298]

Hi I tried connecting the red wire from the amplifier to the stereo on the wire loom like you did and I found that my battery went flat in a few hrs do you have any ideas if there is another way to do this thanks.

[@MisterManj]

That's why he said switched 12v wire meaning when you switch the radio off there should be no power... So find the switched 12v use a multimeter to determine which one is switched....

[@russchipp3013]

@@MisterManj Wire the red wire to the power ant wire, amplifier will only be on when the stereo is on, when you turn it of it will go off

[@AntonMcCann]

I have a similar issue mate after installing an after market android. Now that it's been a couple of months, have you noticed a good improvement?

[@diyandmetaldetecting]

There is a slight improvement but for the cost of the unit it was still worth doing for me ...thanks for the question

[@158mollie]

Nice video do you think it’s worth buying for my after market radio

[@diyandmetaldetecting]

It's improved the signal when I'm in one location but when driving it doesn't give a crisp signal all the time when it's weak signal but for the price paid for it and how easy it was to fit I can't complain

[@eusufzai]

I would like to use this booster with my portable radio. How to power the unit ?

[@diyandmetaldetecting]

It runs from 12v most portable radios aren't 12v

[@Boycott-Ai-NOW]

Go old school for that... aluminum foil ball or wire hangar...

[@vladnickul]

did someone test it in am?

[@DanielTuriman]

I have buy one, hope they work it

Have you checked Amplifier working fine ? as I want to buy

[@sabiya2]

Hi I have the same just ordered the amplifier, just a quick question how do I get AM stations Thanks

[@diyandmetaldetecting]

You need to check your Radio instructions as every Radio/stereo is different

[@sabiya2]

It’s the exact same as yours in the video, your on FM as Am I, do you have the option to change to AM?

[@homlesy1172]

@@sabiya2 every radio has am and fm either click band on touch screen or if manual it will be on a knob or press button :)
