Soooo, I have my stations programmed on the DAB radio on my Composition Media. When I was programming them all was fine and dandy, No loss of signal good quality sound etc. However, now every time I start moving the reception is terrible to the point where it says on the screen there is no reception. Even in areas where I know there is good reception the quality in my car is poor.
As a reference I use a 2011 Passat Estate whilst at work, I have the exact same stations programmed on the DAB radio as in my GTD, the reception on the Passat is perfect, yet for my car sitting 2 metres away its cracking, bleeping and f@rting at me.
I have got the climate comfort screen, I know this can affect phone signal but could it also affect radio signal? I can't think of anything else it could be, its bl00dy annoying though :angry:

The climate comfort screen would only affect the phone signal as the phone is inside the car and therefore acts as a shield. The DAB will have its own aerial which I believe will either be the rear screen or if you have the sharks fin on the roof could be that. Im sure someone can confirm which one.
You may well have a loose conection.
Have you tried VCDS? Its told me a few times about electrical faults on various cars, speakers not working, fault with MDI etc.

I installed a dash cam on the rear of my car and it killed the DAB reception.
Make sure there is nothing in the back that can be interfering with it.

Might not be related but in my current car ( not a VW) the DAB reception has gone terrible the last week or so

Aha!!! You may have just hit the nail on the head I have a dash cam mounted at the rear, this could well be the problem. I will investigate....
Cheers :D

Glad to have helped! :)

I live in the north east and the dab reception in the car is excellent locally although I have not yet travelled more than 40 miles from home.
Conversly the reception in the house from a Sony is very poor and tunes into very few stations.

DAB is either on or off there is really no middle ground.
