Hello all
I have recently installed an Android headset into my daughters 2009 1.0 Picanto but the FM reception is very poor. I have tried two other headsets as well one of which is a Kenwood and all three have the same issue. However when I put the original back in reception is perfect. As such my process of deduction is leading me to the possibility that the factory head unit has a built in amplifier.
Does anyone know if this is definitely the case and/or has anyone gone down this journey.
EDIT: Oh buy the way I have checked whether or not the actual antenna of the car is an amplified unit and I don't believe it is as there is no 12v at the centre pin of the factory headset antenna which would typically be the sign that it is.
Thanks
