I recently bought and installed this radio in to my 97' civic, but I'm having some issues. It gets HORRIBLE reception. The sound gets really low, and then will get loud, then low again, and just in general gets bad reception in areas where the stock honda radio got fine reception ( before it broke). Any ideas what could be up? I was under the impression that this radio was supposted to get good reception? Do I need a different antena or something?

Any help is appreciated :)

I've got the same problem with my pioneer radio. Mine is a 1900 or 2000 I can't remember. It doesn't pick up certain local stations anymore. All my stuff is wired right.

Does your pioneer have a super tuner 3? civic antennas suck

does your 97 civic have an external antenna, or is it just in the window? if it's just in the window, it might have an antenna booster that needs power from your power antenna wire on the back of your headunit (blue). You need to connect the blue wire from your headunit to the blue power antenna wire on your harness. This is how it's done in the 01-05 civics, can't remember in the 97s

Yes my pioneer does have supertuner 3, but doesn't that only pick the best recepting stations?

My car has an external antena, just above the drivers side door.
