I have a Kenwood 7019 unit which is really nice but the am doesn't work. A couple shops have told me that the original Bose amp boosted the am signal and that the Kenwood doesn't. No one has a solution yet.
Any help for a '04 C5 coupe ? I gutted the entire Bose system and run a Audison amp.

I have a similar problem with my Jensen. Weak windshield antenna seems to be the culprit.

I can't believe there isn't a quick plug and play for this issue.

3 questions

1) If it is a 5V signal that turns on the antenna booster, is the 12V now coming from my Jensen radio, doing harm to the logic ? (5V is logic 1 and 0V is logic 0)

2) Am I misunderstanding , or does the drivers seat need to be removed to get at this antenna module?

3) Could a simple resistor from the pink wire in series be used to create the 5V logic 1 ? Normally with computer chips any voltage between 3.5V and 5V are logic 1 (ON).

there are 2 wires a 12volt and a 5volt that both need to be enabled. you are powering up the 12volt, the 5volt is a totally seperate wire

you can do this behind dash or at the actual module on side of panel next to drivers seat

no removal of driver seat is necessary as im a small guy but would prly make it much esaier for others

as far as using a resistor you would need to nkow the current draw of the unit to accurately pick a resistor. IMO using the IC voltage regulator
