krishen 2 Posted January 12, 2013 The crap radio signal in my vr turned out to be the booster that plugs into the back of the stereo. Removed it and plugged the aerial straight in and now it works as good as modern cars. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dec 1 Posted January 12, 2013 The early C's already have a booster in the base of the aerial itself. Chances are that this could be dead. You can pull the headlining down at the back to get access to the aerial base. If you unplug the 12v supply to the aerial base and the signal improves.....the booster is knackered, and it's time for a new one!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Johnny H 0 Posted January 12, 2013 Mines crap aswell in my 95 VR. Even worse in the rain. Thought it could be down to a bad earth? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I replaced the aerial base in mine as well as the aerial but still ended up with crap signal. Then removed the booster in the back of my pioneer and boom. I have good signal.

fla 9 Posted June 12, 2015 Is there any way to test the booster that plugs into the HU? I've just ordered a replacement from amazon and was thinking of connecting this as well,or in place of, the original one. Thoughts? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZpog 10 Posted June 12, 2015 Swapped my original aerial with built in amp that was foobarred for a Hertz replacement with built in amp. I went from Radio 1/2 only to hearing things transmitted from the moon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
