Poor radio reception on 2005 WRX
I replaced my stock 6 disk which had fine radio quality with an Alpine and ever since my radio reception is poor to none. I get some stations on the Oakland side of the tunnel and no stations on the walnut creek side of the tunnel. Any ideas?

look for a solid white wire coming off of the factory harness. You can tap that into the blue/white power antenna trigger or a switched 12v wire from the harness as well.

Just finished plugging in the antenna power wire and i have never had clearer radio. Thank you so much for all the help I can finally listen to my morning show on the way to work.

Wow. This is awesome. I hooked up a d3 in mine about two years ago and had this same problem. I never really thought about it too much because I rarely use the radio. I just tried this and fixed it. Thanks.
