Are there problems with 92 civic's Radio Reception - 10/21/2007 7:51:20 AM    zmd73   Posts: 8 Joined: 10/21/2007 Status: offline Hello, A while ago I took out the old factory radio replaced it with Awai from another car I had.  I thought that would fix the poor reception I would get but it didn't.  I replace the antena with the new one(Honda antena) and that did not help.  I want to buy another radio but is uselss if I can't get good reception.  Does anyone have any suggestions.  It is not where I live due to that my wifes car gets every station . Thank you, Post #: 1

Cos the cable could have frayed or something, thus leaving it open to interferance from other cables and stuff.. (in reply to zmd73) Post #: 2

Most new pioneer decks hae them a long with  most other brands. There not that expensive either. You can even check ebay or any other sites. I get great reception and i dont even have it connected to my antenna. _____________________________ 94 1.6 SOHC AEM INTAKE V2 SRI CATBACK EXAUST 15' INCH HAMMER HEADs (in reply to zmd73) Post #: 4

As for interference this model has the antenna on the roof of the car driver side.  It runs down the driver side pillar over the steering wheel column and to the center were the head unit is.   (in reply to ShadFX) Post #: 7

Hope it shapes up! _____________________________ American cars Thanks to Windcalmer for the sig! http://www.geocities.com/black97civic (in reply to rice_eater) Post #: 10
