I recently installed an aftermarket HU on my 2009 Fit Sport. It is having a lot of static when I am listening to FM radio. I wonder I hooked it up correctly or not. On the Metra 40-HD10 antenna harness, besides the regular antenna cable, there is another wire. I connected it to the HU wire labelled "antenna power supply". Did I do it correctly?

 

yes you did. the blue wire from the harness goes to the power antenna lead on the headunit. we dont have power antennas, but they are "amplified" check the connections make sure that the plug is all the way into the headunit.

 

I'm really glad you posted this, It took a long time and a lot of "just deal with it not working" answers. I believe I have corrected those who have said that you don't need the power connected.

 

^ What he said. As long as the new radio isn't junk, there shouldn't be a noticable increase in static- if anything, with a decent aftermarket unit, there should be less!

Whenever you do a relatively simple swap/"upgrade" of any kind, and something stops working the way it should, always check your work. I keep a plaque saying something like that in my shop- 9/10 times, it's correct Mark W.

 

where is the blue lead? do you mean the remote blue for like amps?

 

Your Pioneer (based off your other thread) harness should have a blue wire and a blue/white wire. The blue wire is the power antenna lead (which is what your blue wire on the antenna adaptor connects to) and the blue/white is amp turn on.

 

I only have a blue/white wire from my harness (Pioneer)

 

I can technically use that as well for the antenna.

 

Ok I feel really dumb right now im trying to put this adaptor on but I cant even find the stock fm wiring from the car can any one show me a pic or give me so directions on where to find it or what to do thanks
