OEM radio reception

Ole Rusty · 11-09-2012, 07:32 PM

I've got '10 roadster that with a cut down antenna that got ok reception with the OEM Bose HU. I put in a Pioneer X940 with the Metra Part # 40-NI12 | Aftermarket Antenna | Metra Online adaptor and now I get horrible reception. I didn't hook up the blue wire. should I have hooked that to something and, if so, what?

Did you connect the blue wire to the new head units REM or antenna wire?

I don't think it has one. What is the blue wire for?
