| 1991 - 1999 (E36) (1991 - 1999) The first modern 3 Series, the E36, was the model that paved the way for the 3 Series to be named "Car of the Year" every year since the model was driving off showroom floors. Radically redesigned in 1992, the E36 was not the same 3 Series as the E21 and E30. Larger, less boxy in design, and equipped with a dual overhead cam engine, multilink rear suspension, and a more finished interior, the E36 balances sport with luxury. |

New radio unit, Bad reception
My problem is that the radio antenna is not working properly. And the problem is bad reception. I know the antenna in an E36 is behind the passenger side C-pillar. I found this somewhere:
Can somebody explain this to me who has done this procedure: There is an antenna amplifier behind the driver's side C-pillar. If you have changed your head unit and/or amplifier lately, you may no longer be sending power to the antenna amplifier. If this is the case, you will need to run a wire from your remote amp turn-on lead to the antenna amplifier, and all will be well. (I suffered with bad reception for about a year before figuring this out.) If you have not made any changes to your in-dash or amplifier, then check for 12V at the power lead of the antenna amp. If there is power, replace the antenna amp. If there is no power, run a jumper line to the amp and see if it works. Need help with that wiring 12V of antenna. Where do I input 12V cable?

Amp wires in trunk were cut by previous owner.
Brown cable was missing 12 v, up and running. Got it working, brown cable needed 12V. Last edited by lasmariaspr; 10-25-2009 at 04:45 PM.. Reason: Automerged Doublepost
