Jaws II - Revenge of the aerial finn

[Jamo]

Well folks decided to do a little mod since it's been too long since i've modded the S2 in anyway shape or form.

Thanks to S2_Southwest for the inspiration and advice

Word of warning for anybody else that goes down this route, the aerial connection on the S2 is not ISO or din. You will need an adapter to connect to the new Finn aerial.

Halfrauds sell one called screw type aerial adaptor and it's only available at the Ripspeed branches.

I can now pick up AM radio!!! which shows the the bee sting had burnt out (it was 11 years old!)

Another quick pic, i'll do some more when i clean the car

I'll check the receipt for a part number.

Also folks highly recommend you check your stereo wiring to make sure the aerial is getting power. The white wire should be fed 12V

I checked mine at the aerial end with a multimeter although i had rewired it previously to get power from the ignition feed on the stereo ISO harness.

I've the same one on my Avant Jamo, but mines colour coded. . But my AM is still shagged, although if i touch the end of the aerial connector coming from the radio with my finger i get perfect reception..?

Sounds like your amplier isn't getting voltage, i got this when i was checking the wiring.


I did a photoshop of it colour coded and prefer it black at present, may spray it if i get bored
