LEON - Have I bust my aerial?

[alan75]

Hello,
Bought a new HU to replace my aura hu. Got my fascia, got my aerial booster and plugged it in.
CD player working perfectly but radio reception has gone completely. I even tried plugging in the original hu to see if it was the aerial booster that had blown. The radio reception worked initially but when I tried to put the hu back into the dash it stopped. Could I have pulled the car aerial connection out or damaged the lead, blown a fuse?

Any suggestions greatly received.....cheers
Also what wire should the aerial booster blue wire go onto?

hi mate if you havent sorted this yet, good luck but a word of warning

vw used to use blue/white wire for aerial amp power in radio power plug. they have done away with the power to aerial i think, but now the blue/white wire is a speed sensor connection......

i know as the past 4 weeks have had speed sensor issues after i ,istakenly connected amp/elec aerial output to said wire.... no damage but very annoying. good luck

Cheers, just making do with cd player for now. Have no idea how to get radio working again....anyone think Halfords would do a repair(paid of course) even though they didnt fit or sell the unit?

Sounds like you've damaged the aerial cable to me.
