No AM radio, few FM stations

Hooked up my Pioneer HU, attached the blue "power antenna" wire to a 12V line, but it's connected with 3-4 others. Do I need to find another switched 12V?

It's been my experience the blue power antenna wire is an output to trigger a power antenna, not a power in wire. If you have no power antenna, do not connect it to anything.

Correct or for turning on an amp, etc.

I had to connect that wire I my wife's Pilot, but I'm beginning to wonder whether the salesman at my local shop sold me the wrong part.

I'll update once I figure this out.

Thanks!

Do you mean wiring harness? If so just leave the blue wire disconnected.
