2000+ Antenna Modual
How does the antenna module get powered? I've installed an after market radio and I have horrible FM reception. Doing some searching I read a comment about if it wasn't powered then reception would be degraded. Thinking maybe I missed hooking it up to the harness adapter somehow????

Antenna Module
The radio receives tuner signals from an antenna module. This module uses the following antennas to pick up tuner signals:
Front Windshield Antenna - Mounted in the upper right corner of the windshield and used for FM reception only
Rear Window Antenna - Mounted along the top grid of the rear window and used for AM and FM reception
The module utilizes the signals of the two antennas for the following reasons:
To reduce the amount of fade and breakup due to tall buildings in cities
Additional signal strength in fringe reception areas
The radio sends a signal to the module to adjust the signal strength received by it for optimal FM reception.

Thanks. Looks like I didn't hook it up. Dangit!
