I am trying to get better reception on my Chinese Head Unit. I am looking at an inline amplifier for the antenna. Car Antenna Radio FM & AM Signal Amp Amplifier Booster | eBay What Antenna plug does the Prius have? Is it a Motorola plug size? Thanks, Glenn
It will not work. A few here (including me on my first Chinese thing) put one in, and found (not so surprisingly) - that all it did was make the noise very much more noisy... If I can find mine tonight, I'd gladly sell it to you...
Gen3 already has a built in aerial amplifier. Make sure your chinese HU is powering it up! See http://priuschat.com/forums/gen-iii-2010-prius-audio-electronics/99042-faulty-head-unit-car.html
I checked that earlier. I am getting 12 volts to pin 13 (ant amp) whenever the radio is on. Actually it turned out to be the output from the head unit. It was giving me a high output when on Radio then the JBL amp would overamplify it.
Maybe you have the same problem that a lot us gen3 prii owners have. See this massive thread.... http://priuschat.com/forums/gen-iii...07-weak-fm-radio-reception-in-2010-prius.html Another inline amp isn't likely to solve your problem. A possible solution is on page 58 post 572.
