New aerial

[Jamo]

It's a proper aerial mate, check the ebay auction.

Aint got a problem with my aerial once i connect up the amplier (white wire) to the ignition wire on the radio.

I had to connect it to the igniton as head unit cant supply more than 3 amps on the remote out and with 3 ampliers in the boot it would trip out the amps with the aerial connected.

Funky stuff... Thanks Jamo.

OOOO, which wire in amongst the stuff at the back is the amp wire for the standard aerial, as my ISO was butchered when i got the car and there are a couple of wires that im not sure what they do and didnt fancy testing things with a live wire!

Is white the standard wiring for the aerial amp? I'll see about hooking mine up if it is as that should help lots!!!

From memory there is 2 or 3 white wires which require power, i used the amp+ feed from the headunit. I think one of them is also the power for the amplified speakers aswell as the aerial. There is an old thread on the forum about headunit wiring where i posted details of which wire is which, long time ago now.

It's the white wire on the Audi factory standard, it should connect to the Auto aerial output on the ISO

And the auto aerial should be conencted to the remote out on the head unit wiring.

On mine though i've bypassed the ISO and i've biwired onto the 12V ignition due to the extra load the 3 amps take on the head unit.

Sorry only 90's and CQ's have em, S2's seem to have got normal rear speakers. Extract from 20v.org

"There is an amp piggybacked to the frame of each rear main speaker. You can either feed pre-amp (line level) outputs from the new head unit to them, or you can bypass the built-in amp. If you intend to retain the use of the built-in amps on the rear speakers, not only will you have to feed them pre-amp output, but you'll also have to feed power to them. The black connector on the stock head unit has two white wires coming out of the same pin. These wires feed power to the rear amps and the antenna booster. Connect these wires to the "+12V remote send" output from the new head unit, and your rear amps will function, as will the stock antenna, and even the door-open chime."
