Power Antenna?

Hi there

Recently bought a Peugeot 106 which had a non standard radio cassette
in it. On inspection I discovered that instead of using an ISO
connector, the person who installed the device simply cut the wires
and used tape to connect them up. All well and good, but this lead me
to having to work out what wire supplied what!

After doing my research I've managed to install my CD player/radio.
The one problem I am having though, is that in my previous car, the
radio was top notch, but in the 106 it's barely able to find a
station. I am lead to believe that this has something to do with the
Power Antenna lead that was not about to find a home for. I thought it
might be just a case of wiring this to the IGN. line, in order to
power the antenna, but I didn't notice any improvement. There is,
however, a small redundant  orange cable that was previously
unconnected; I wonder if this could be what I am looking for?

Any input would be much appreciated!

Thanks
James

The power antenna lead is used only if you have and electric motorised
antenna , that is one that goes up and down when the radio is switched on
and off , like you get on a xj6 jag etc etc.
It is more than likely that you have a bad connection to your actual car
aerial.
I take it that you did plug the aerial connector  into the back of  the
radio?  its easily forgotten.
Hope this helps

Hi Gary, thanks for reply.

I have plugged in the antenna lead, however the connection is far from
clean, and when I removed the old stereo, the aerial plug was (and
still is) covered in a white powdery residue. Any ideas what this is
and how best to rectify?

Thanks
Jamblo

This is not entirely true, as many Pugs (and other makes) use an antenna
with an amp in the base. Don't know if this applies to your 106 as I don't
know the age, but if it has one of these short roof-top aerials with a large
base, then this is probably the case.
Unfortunately, my Haynes books are totally useless when it comes to this
sort of information.

Same here, looked through my Haynes manuel to no avail. It's a 1995 N
106.
