Hi All,

I recently bought and installed one of them shark fin aerials on my 6N2.

I love the way it looks, but I found the FM reception to be rather lacking.
Am I supposed to fit an amplifier somewhere in between my radio/aerial or am I missing something?

Cheers,

PH-VAP

Is that the same with other ariels too?

I have the S2000 type. My reception for radio is terrible. I normally use my iPod though.

Shouldn't have any trouble with the S2000 Aerial.

Is it a Genuine Honda one,Enfig or a copy?.

Believe its genuine. From eBay. Paid a good amount for it!

Possibly the head unit? Pioneer.
I had to get an adaptor to fit the aerial in the back...

I can barely get reception for Radio 1.
