poor AM signal
First, please excuse my english.
Here is my problem. I have problem getting proper AM signal when installing a stereo to the wires of the aftermath of a car break in. I can get clear FM signals only when I touch one of the specific wire to the antenna connector of the stereo unit. (I assume that wire should connect to the antenna then.) Keeping the same 'antenna wire' connected to the until, as for the AM, I get signals only when my key is not at the ignition position or when the car engine is not running. I tried a brand new stereo of a different brand. I get FM signal only when I touch that wire to the antena connector of the stereo, but no signal at all for AM, regardless of the car key position or whether the engine is running. I don't know if the following is related. Since I cannot find the battery wire from the car to connect to the stereo, I connect both the ignition wire and the battery wire of the stereo to the ignition wire from the car. Or, with the 'antena wire' of the car, do I need to install a proper antenna connector so that it connects to the antenna connector of the stereo properly. Or would it be other possible problem? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. |
