    Ok so i bought a Sony xplode HU. Before replacing the stock one with the Sony i had great radio signals every where. Now i don't. BUT the HU itself works amazing when plugged into my droid via AUX cable so i know its not my wiring. I used the wiring kit and antenna kit from 3800 performance. So my question is why did the old radio get so much better of a signal but my new one wont.

    Ive had similar issues with my new HU and honestly I think it could just be the radio reception isnt as great on the new HU. Idk about the xplode but I know mine isnt the top of the line model so I live with it. I bought it for the other reasons anyways

    Tint?
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.

    I just installed a sony xplod MEX-BT5100. today actually,

    I found that the antenna adapter doesnt fit the stock wire so great, I actually put it in as tight as i could and then put black tape to hold it together. I'm getting great reception now.
    also make sure you pushed the antenna wire into your new HU deep enough.
