How to reconnect antenna amplifier?
Hello members, I have a 2004 270 cdi. which had a MF2311 radio as original equipment , it worked well, but I have installed a icartechs700 to provide a reversing camera and navigation, the radio reception is poor and there is no AM, even though it is fitted with a good tuner. I would like to find out how to locate and identify the cables necessary to reconnect the antenna amplifier to improve reception, any advice or help would be appreciated. Thanks Bruce.

Its one of the wires on the car's quadlock that needs power. If you look at the quadlock, there are 12 pin sub connectors at the top, with pink, yellow, etc. If there is a blue one there, thats one one that needs to get connected to the electric antenna output of the stereo

Many thanks Richard, It certainly sounds easy, unfortunately my assistant is laid up in hospital so it could be a while before I get around to removing it to alter the connections. Merry Xmas. Bruce.
