Installation recommendations
Generally/typically, the exact procedure for replacing the antenna amplifier depends on the specific model and design of the car. Below is a safe general procedure for replacing an electrical component of this type.
1) Before assembly
- Check that part codes 9657017980 and 6561JV match the removed piece.
- Compare connectors, part body shape, attachment points and any AM/FM1 designation.
- Check the condition of the contacts, whether they are oxidized, damaged or mechanically deformed.
- Verify that the used part is not cracked and has no signs of water ingress or overheating.
2) Necessary tools and materials
- Basic set of hand tools
- Plastic pry bar for panel removal
- Screwdrivers or socket wrenches depending on the mounting design
- Electrical contact cleaner
- Clean cloth or tea towel
- Protective gloves
3) Step-by-step assembly procedure
- Turn off the ignition and disconnect the battery for safety reasons.
- Ensure access to the original antenna amplifier according to the design of the specific car.
- Carefully remove the cover elements or lining so as not to damage the handles.
- Disconnect the electrical connectors and any antenna leads from the original part.
- Check the connectors and surrounding wiring, remove dirt or light oxidation if necessary.
- Remove the original amplifier from the bracket or mount.
- Compare the old and new part side by side, especially the numbers, connectors and mounting method.
- Place the used antenna amplifier in place of the original part.
- Connect all connectors carefully and without using excessive force.
- Reinstall all removed covers and trim.
- Connect the battery.
- Turn on the ignition and verify the AM/FM radio reception function.
-
4) Post-assembly checks and test drive/function verification
- Check that the radio is searching for a station and the reception is not interrupted.
- Verify signal stability while stationary and while driving.
- Listen for noise, dropouts, or volume fluctuations caused by a weak signal.
- After a short ride, check again that the part is properly attached and the connectors are holding tight.
5) The most common assembly mistakes + how to avoid them
- Part swapping based on similar appearance – always compare product numbers and AM/FM1 markings.
- Insufficiently inserted connectors – after connection, check their firm seating.
- Panel damage during disassembly – use appropriate plastic disassembly tools.
- Assembly without contact inspection – clean the contact surfaces and check for oxidation before installation.
- Omission to check the function after installation – always test the radio reception before the work is completely finished.
Reasons why the part is damaged
- Moisture and water seepage into the area of electrical connections
- Oxidation of contacts and connectors
- Mechanical damage during disassembly or improper handling
- Interruption or damage to connecting cabling
- Long-term vibration and fastening loosening
- Part age and normal wear and tear of electronic components
