I have the same problem in a vw sharan. tried 3 or 4 radios. I'm told the problem is down to the ariel being part of the rear window. Apparently these ariels are cr*p. I was advised to fit a body ariel, but don't want to drill a hole :sad: so will have to put up with it. Does your tx have the same kind of ariel?

This may sound daft but you do have the silly little aerial at the rear of the roof on, these are removable.

If all else fails try an aerial amplifier.

Or maybe it might be an idea to get a digital radio to go with the £30,000 motor. :roll:

You might as well drill a hole because its going to develop a few more over the years :shock:

Have you tried blaming numbers control?

I think you'll find that is skull's main point if he posts here :lol:
