changed head unit, and wired in aerail booster, still no luck

[shaneseat]

hi guys got kit to change the head unit in my 01 toledo from ebay including fascia leads adaptor and aerial booster. i wired booster into red into harness, as power aerial blue wouldnt work, and there was no other blue. ive still got a terrible signal and when i have it wired and out of dash sitting on my knee its about 60%, as soon as i slide it into dash goes to about 20%....

any ideas............

have you checked the aerial base and also the earial cable to see whether it has any breaks and the base is bolted down tightly to a clean,rust free surface?

Dont use the cable for the power antena mate, use the other blue/white one, the one that would normaly power a amp.
