Before this my kancil had a stock HU which had horrible reception. 90% of the time (while driving) i get static while 10% of the time i get some reception.

Then i changed to a 2nd hand JVC s785 HU and nothing changed. So i reckon its the antenna causing the problem. I went to an accesory shop and replaced it with a OEM kancil antenna. The reception did improved, now its like 80% got reception (most of the time while static) and 20% i still get choppiness. The choppiness occurs randomly while i drive.

Now this is VERY irritating. My mom's Wira with stock Clarion cassette player and stock antenna gets 100% clear reception except when being blocked by huge signboards or goes underground.

Wat seems to be the problem? Could it be my Head Unit? Or is something not grounded properly? Anyway i can solve this problem without buying a booster or the BOSCH in car antenna? REally irritating >.<

Any help greatly appreciated ^^

yup they changed the whole thing including the jack
i've been fiddling with the HU and the antenna
connection is no prob
i get perfect reception when im standstill, but when i move, it fluctuates 80good - 20bad. It gets worse at certain areas, whereby my mom's stock wira gets flawless reception.

the antenna is grounded to the car body from rooftop. any DIY mods can be done on the antenna or the HU connection to increase the reception? should i get a better grounding cable for the HU instead of tapping from the original kancil ground wire?

Hmmm, interesting problem u have there, daijoubu... I'm lucky my G2 does not face this static problem, unless when the car is parked in a basement or when traveling outstation (the regular Klang Valley frequency will obviously produce static when travelling further away)...

Termignoni, i think the newer stations are using the more advanced broadcast equipment as compared with the older ones... Maybe that explains why these stations can get better reception...

Having the same problem ...
Car .. Putra..
Original HU .. Clarion Cassatte player .. no problem with radio...
Change to Pioneer 6850 HU .. Radio gets choppy when the car moving ..

my fren suggest me go jalan pasar buy a new antenna .. not yet do it .. see when i free..

Well, even after i changed my Gen2's built-in Blaupunkt radio to an OEM unit, both are still getting excellent reception... I think the antenna plays a major part as my radio (at the time still the built-in unit) got blurry signals when some joker actually STOLE my antenna!

hmm apparently the antenna connector the isnt making full contact with my HU. i just bent the part that is stick out of the connector a little to make contact, later i drive around and see whether ok or not
