Alright Lads
I cant seem to get a decent radio signal on my corsa
ive checked the back of the stereo and all is sound, ive got a Pioneer DEH6500 HU and ive added a smaller Aluminium ariel
How easy is it to replace the whole thing for a decent quality one?
cheers

its at the base of the aerial, but if u cut the wire to keep the display working it curts the power to the booster.

aye...if you look on the MFD pin coming out of the ISO block, you will see a black cable and this is what goes to the booster, so just chop the grey/red cable and not both of them, it should work then

although i just disconnected the remote lead from the ISO block, to save on chopping of cables, and my reception is perfect...although goes abit dodgy when i get into the countryside (but only in a few places).

then connect the remote lead to the ISO block (blue wire from HU to blue wire on car iso block) and that shall do the job

- although your date wont show up, you will need to cut the grey/red wire (car side) on the iso block.
although, if still isnt doing anything, then it might not be the booster at fault
