I fitted my head unit into the car a month or two ago and not really bothered with the radio but recentley went to listen to it and the reception was quite poor, tried the obvious like cleaning theback window in and out and checkin the connectors but still no better. I think my problem is that the standard aerial runs to the front of the car to behind the head unit (obviousley ::) ) but my main control for the head unit is in the boot so I've got the wire running back down the car. I'm thinking due to the length of the cable run this isn't helping so was looking at cutting the lead near the back of the car and fitting into the control unit. I think I've found the wire a thickish grey one that runs along the back passenger side wheel arch I just need the nod of confidence before I start cutting it :-? Anyone know if this is the right one?

Cable length is not going to be the issue here.
I suspect that the problem lies with a poor connector, lack of a power feed to the aerail booster, or more likely the fact that the internal aerials in the omega are useless.
They may work for the poor tuners in the OEM head units, but if a high quality tuner is fitted, the internal aerial just isn`t up to the job and usually requires an external aerial to be fitted.
