amplified ariel

I seem to get a lot of interference on my radio moving around the NE of jockland. Was thinking of getting one of those amplifiers from tvrgear, has anyone fitted one and benefited and is it easy to fit.

I got mine from Mod Wise www.mod-wise.com The firm is run by a top chap called David Beer. I don't know if the TVR gear product is David's amp in a new box or otherwise, but the mod wise amp is top class, it cured my rubbish reception.

I don't know which tiv you have, but if you have a chim I did abit of a fitting guide on how to install the aerial amp:

Thanks for the help MOD, fitting looks bit fiddly but gotta give it a go & yes it's for a 98 chim.

I fitted one to my Tuscan and it is improved greatly - and Mod Wise sent me the product on a trial basis, basically I fitted it then decided if I wanted to pay or send it back - cant say fairer than that!!

It was easy enough to fit as well, just getting to the back of the radio was a pain

Its not too bad really. If you are hesitant about getting the amp lead to the radio, you can always install the kit and take the car to a radio specialist and let them fit the lead under the dash and onwards to the radio....thats what I did (was having new radio fitted anyway).

Thanks

I fitted one to my 1998 Chim.

Its fairly straightforward - only 'cheat' was routing cable for wheel arch under passenger seat (rather than under carpet at this stage) which makes things a lot easier.

Took under an hour.

Gave me enough confidence to wire in a CD changer the following weekend!

It has improved radio reception to a point where it is just good enough, but its hardly great.
