new aerial fitted, reception is a lot better, but it is no where near as good as my old sony HU! :angry: :angry:

Might be tempted to junk the JVC an go back to sony!

Anyone know if JVC tuners are poor compared to other makes?

I just found the wire to my amplified aerial was disconnected too...reconnecting it has made no difference for me either

Funny how I can pick up 4 or 5 stations perfectly up in Oxford but anywhere else its nothing!  :laugh:

Might be worth you guys getting a decent aerial?! My old 16V one was rubbish, I got fed up of it keep searching and especially once when I was going around the M25 and it couldn't find anything!  :angry: Bought  Hirshman one and it's great! Picks up 10 times the amount of stations and an even get Radio 5 live sports clearly in most areas!  :cool:

mine is a brand new hella aerial, surely that is a good one?
my sony HU was great with the crappy unpowered aerial!

I just fitted a new aerial - I can pick up loads of stations but always get static and engine noise. Have read a few posts and am I right in thinking there should be an earth strap on the dizzy cap that helps stop this??   :undecided:

I'm sure i've been told the earth strap from the body to wing is meant to stop interference.
