poor reception with aftermarket radio

[butwhydoitalk2u]

i have just successfully installed my aftermarket kenwood dvd into my 2007 camry xle with the premium system. Everything is working all speakers, sirius, dvd, ipod, power, but i get horrible reception. I think it has something to do with the fact that it has 2 seperate antenna plugs and i only plugged in the one that fit into my radio. There is a smaller plug about the size of a GM antenna plug that has the orange power wire connected into it. Is there anything that can be done to improve the reception. I have the HD radio but make no sense in having radio at all if i can't even get a channel let a long the "channels between the channels." I was thinking about making some sort of Y-plug to connect the 2 together, but don't know what my occur in doing so.

Any Advice?

You ned to get a diversity antenna adaptor from local car audio shop. There is a metra part number I'll look it up when I get back to the shop on tuesday.

i saw some adapters online but i don't know if they would work for the car because of the smaller antenna plug. the plug i found is a scosche SCONDAB and metra 40ni10 but how do they work?

They would use both sides of the antenna to pull in the best signal. Diversity is just for that purpose 2 plane for reception.

is the listed part #'s correct for my application?

Would this same adapter work for a 2005 4Runner?

I was told that if your antenna is in the back glass, window tint can mess with the reception also.
