In the galant, it is integrated into the rear window heater. Used to cause problems when I turned the de-mister on in my galant... pos

In the legnum, its part of one of the rear side windows. Near side one I think... colud be wrong, easy enough to check though!

[You See]

Yup, mines located in the lower part of the rear windscreen.

so its intergrated into the window? or its a electric antenna.

got a new dvd/tv for the car and the radio is fuzzy, it has a auto atenna wire on it which isnt hooked up n didnt know where it was.

Its actually in the window, it looks exactly like the heating element, just isnt joined to it :D

only problem with it is that the reception is crap, you'll prolly need a booster.

de ja vu - posted this yesterday and it dissappeared!!

does the noise come from the rear passenger side, sound like an electric motor whirring for about 2 - 5 seconds just after strting up the engine???

Fuel pump ?

Fuel pump ?

thats what i thought - but surely it should already be pumping fuel - when it does it in mine the car has been running at least 30 sec

[BraindG]

I think its the AYC.

[ritch_w]

I think its the AYC.

dont thinkso - it comes from rear passenger side (not rear drivers side) and did it when i had my AYC disconnected too.....

back to topic:thinking:

the aerial is is in the rear windows and has a preamp fitted which needs a 12v supply, so if the head unit has been changed chances are this wire has been disregarded by the installer(mine was)/Grrr

If you need to find this give us a shout, got pics somewhere /help

Now I drive all over the west coast of scotland and never lose reception:happy:

off topic/pan I've always wondered what that noise was:inquisiti

post up the pic if you find it Yan, I can get Radio1 etc but all the other "localised" station up here are hit or miss

sorry the pics not too clear, but iirc the power cable for the preamp was attached to the coax aerial cable and it was just a case of giving it 12v.

I know this is an old thread, but I'm searching for info on the antenna booster (and found it - excellent!).

Anyway, surely the noise described in several posts is the CD stacker swapping disks?

It's just an idea but one of my workmates recently put a new JVC display in and his radio reception was cr@p too. He found in the menu somewhere an option called something like FM Bandwidth in which he had 2 options: Auto and Wide. He changed it to Wide and presto! Good reception!

Maybe your one has this option as well but obviously you will need reception first!

[stuey]

I changed recently to a JVC head unit and recepation was Sh*t, local car audio shop found a break in tha cable to the preamp, might be worth checking, and yes arial is built into rear side windows on Legnums...
