Well the little stubby AM/FM Dash radio that Damon put on my Intruder. Works great if I can see the tower lights.. But for long range reception.. It works exactly as I would expect it to work. (NOT very well).
That said.. I had problems with the dash radio cutting in and out, and it was driving me bananananananas.
On my intruder the Pioneer dash radio feeds like a 150 watt stereo amp on the side wall near the parking brake.. And on the firewall there is a relay box so it uses the same speakers as the big Pioneer home theater system (Which by the way works well but not when rolling, rolling, rolling down the highway due to that relay box disconnecting the speakers)
Turns out one of the MOLEX plugs (Multi Pin, milkey white plastic thing) was not properly seated,, I finally pressed on it, heard the CLICK as the latched latched. and it's worked much better since.. Still no long range radio though.
I have a nice LONG wire for my LONG range radio.
(I mean I can chat with folks in Italy with only 30-40 watts of transmit power.. Not bad.. Digital of course).
I will get under the dash to check this out. I don't think it is the radio because it is two different radios that the problem is happening on. Both dash and the outdoor entertainment one too. And it does use the same speakers as the entertainment system inside coach. Could just be a simple fix.
