Default unclear radio station (even local stations)

Just installed the Pioneer Avic-z130bt in my c6 convertible and I can barley tune-in to local radion stations. Has anyone of you heard or had this problem? Thanks in advance!

Aftermarket amp/speakers or still using stock amp?

If aftermarket, make sure new HU "amp remote" trigger wire is also connected to pin B3 of the big radio plug (C1 on prints), that will power up the stock antenna module. Or you can use the 'antenna' lead if that's all it will do.

C6 prints are HERE

Look at the schematic above. Coming out of the radio is the C1 plug, starting with Pin A9 on the left and ending with pin A12 on the right. Pin B3 is the 3rd from the right, labeled "Antenna Enable Signal" and should be white in color. From there it goes into a split that takes it to the Antenna module and the Audio Amplifier connector C2, Pin A8. The Antenna module can be seen on the following schematic:



Hope this helps.
