just use the accessories wire, splice if from your deck, they dont draw all that much power

you can get a 'converter' from jaycar, they shift the frequencies down 10 and 20MHz

Could you tell more about the accessories wire?
As I've installed new deck a month ago and the reception is far from great, I'm thinking if I need to connect something else besides aerial

i think the S15 antenna goes to the accessories wire

check the service manual BEFORE hooking anything up to that, please dont quote me.

that said, i do remember using that wire for powering the converter for my old head unit in this S15.

just a FYI to anyone else with the problem in future..
I believe the "converters" you're talking about are commonly known as "band expanders"
