Really bad radio reception
« on: 14 July 2012, 17:57 »
Has anyone who has the aerial on the roof had bad reception ? Ive checked it's plugged in at the radio it is.  And I put on a new aerial too . I know my radio isnt faulty , could it be anything to do with the little aerial booster behind the head unit ?

Thanks guys

I have no idea why my previous head unit had really poor reception and my new one (a £17 Kenwood from Cash Converters - LOL) is fine. Clearly not the aerial as that hasn't changed.   :undecided:

Chuffed it is that way though - it was really hard to live with before.
