antenna extender?

[Bmorezcmunee]

i live in Baltimore.....i have this problem where 92.3 overpowers EVERY other radio station. everything else is static. other people with visible radio antennas dont have this problem. i didnt have this problem with my cavalier. does anyone know where in the body of the alero the antenna ends? i want to extend it and run it to the back like a fin or something.

The antenna in the Alero is the Back glass's defroster.

If you look at the back glass on the passenger side, you'll see two wires go out of the trim.

I just so happen to have mine trim off so here is a pic of the antenna hook up.

There is an antenna booster built in the Aleros I dont remember the color of the wire on the stock harness, but I know you have to split it with the remote wire from your aftermarket head unit.

maybe thats it I don't think I hooked up the Power antena wire. hmm? :rolleyes2:

You need to hook it. My reception was really crappy before I did it. Also I was not getting any AM stations before. Now it works fine.

hahaha well over here we have a nice talk cast station about sports on the AM.

[jayson_waltz]

the antenna booster wire is the green one (pretty sure) that you see in the picture. aftermarket harnesses don't hook it up so you have to put a 12v+ (switched) to it yourself

[deathwish666]

okay so lets go through this again...we have an antenna booster? and its the power antenna wire? and we need to do something with a 12v-somethin-or-other to make it work? :blink:

wow...totally lost :wtf2:
