Mystery of C5 Antenna
Hello guys,
I have install Alpine Douple-DIN HU to my C5 Coupe -97.
I use Metra XSVI-2004 to connect new HU to original BOSE system.
All other works fine, but I have a problem with radio-signals;
I have try all what I can find to connect antenna and antenna-amplifier, but new HU can not find any radio-station
- I use Metra 40-GM10 adapter to connect antenna-wire.
- I connect 12VDC to both amplifier wires, Pink and Dark Green.
( somebody tell me, that in -97 and -98 it must be 12VDC to both, and newer models it must be 5VDC to the Pink wire )
- I check, that 12VDC really comes to antenna-amplifier.
- I check, that Antenna-wire is intact.
- I disconnect new HU, and test it in other car, it works fine.
- I check, that there comes about 0,17VDC voltage, from antenna amplifier to antenna plug midlepin.
( I donīt know, how much it must be??? )
Give me some help, I can not find any more, what I can check
