Easy enough to do, just remove the arch liner.

I attached mine to the red positive, it works a treat now, even in the lock up!!

lol think im cursed....tried on red same made its worse!......

do you need to take out the whole cable or is there a connecter under the arch

I have had the same prob. I tried every wire i could find and it just made the reception worse. I have a roof mounted aerial and it appears to be wired ok, but I would say it doesnt work at all. When i do get reception, it is just being  recieved by the stereo itself and not the aerial. ie the roof aerial does nothing at all.

The radi that came with the car wasn't bad at all, when I put a new one in the ISO had to be taken out and a new one fitted, it was then sh!t.

The old ISO had a little box on the orange wire, I put that on and it was better!
