Reception. I have the Visteon HDZ300 plugged into my factory antenna and the reception is no where near as good as my factory or my Alpine HU was. Any ideas?

Also, I was thinking of trying this http://www.crutchfield.com/S-eOVvK9o...px?i=12044UA60 . Will this help at all?

With the head unit removed (?), if you have a powered antenna, make sure it is getting voltage. If the head unit powered it, it won't (blue wire). I thought I had broken my antenna. When I found that, the Visteon blew the factory HU out of the water on reception.
