I have an 06 LX Coupe, and the Scosche HAAB Antenna Adapter for Hondas 2005 and up plugged into my Pioneer DEH-P6800MP. Problem is when I listen to the radio, I get little to no reception. Now I've heard from some people that these adapters are just crap, and there are ways to make it work, but not the way it was originally designed. Does anyone on here, possibly an installer, know how to restore the FM reception on an 06 civic with an aftermarket HU without cutting the factory wires?

 

Hey whats up. I have sen a couple of the new style honda antenna adapters and found that some have a power turn on and some don't. If you have a glass mount antenna(i.e. you don't have a visible external antenna) you will need to use a powered turn on antenna. If you have an external antenna and you are using the proper plug then I don't know what else to recomend. Thats the only reason I can se for you to be having any kind of reception problems.

 

wait... why are you using an adapter!? You do realise that the civics nowadays are using windshield mounted antennas. IMO and respected knowledge in ICE that windshield mounted antennas are hands down one of the better ways to go for reception... period.
