reception

W211 with NTG1 When I put rear screen on it causes interference on any radio channel (this has only started happening fairly recently) Also, the unit has great difficulty "latching" on to traffic news so I wondered if the events connected? Any thoughts?

So I bought my first Merc a month ago (it's brilliant) C250cdi Coupe, but the DAB reception is utterly ****e! My last BMW had excellent reception and I even had a Ford Fiesta on loan earlier this year and DAB reception in that was better than the BMW. Have Merc fcuked up the aerial or what as...

I guys. I have just installed a Pioneer AppRadio3 HU into my a180. It replaces an Audio20 unit. Everything works great apart from the radio. I can only seem to pickup a few stations. I have the correct ariel adaptor and I plugged it into the double white connector (only one connector has a wire)...

Hi Guys, My first post on here, just trying to get some insight from someone in the know. I have a 2005 C-Class C220 CDI Coupe (W203). Car runs great and its a pleasure to drive (especially over longer distances) but I've had tons of minor issues with it over the last month or two (perhaps...

Posting this as a new thread as well as it's not just the E class. So, like RAS, I have been working with my MB service team (Solihull and excellent chaps), and basically we agreed a few months ago that this was a long term problem and they would escalate the MB. They rang me last week and...

Hi All, I have seen a lot of threads on this topic but not one that fits my issue exactly...if my search skills have let me down...apologies in advance. My C180K Sports Coupe (52 Plate) has poor FM radio reception. I don't have a weak Central Locking radio signal issue and can lock/unlock...

Hi all, Radio reception in my '08 S211 with audio 20, has deteriorated significantly. It now has problems finding stations on both FM and AM. Can anyone tell me what the possible causes are, and what I can look for? Am I right in thinking the aerial is incorporated into the heated rear...

Hi all. I have just fitted an after market radio in my c180 k sport W203. It works great apart from the radio which is very poor. I can hardly get any stations. I have a dual fakra to din which is powered but its crap. The guy who sold it to me tried it in his car (not Mercedes) and it works...

Hi I'm new to the group, I have fitted a Sony XAV-601BT to replace the Audio 20BT. I am having issues with the radio reception, I have used the standard ISO leads but I'm not sure if this feeds the antenna amplifier. The aerial adapter is plugged into the white dual coax socked (it's where I...

I've bought a new radio (Pioneer deh-4500bt) to replace the old audio 10 in my 210, and there is a problem with the AM signal. The signal seems to be very weak and there is interference. But if i swap back to the old audio 10, the AM reception is fine. The FM signal is fine in both. Any...

Hello, I have a car with DAB installed as std. I can pick up lots of radio stations but some of them (not all of them) don't load the additional data (like the now and next info). In particular Planet Rock (which I know does now and next) shows as "No Info". Three weeks ago, (before I sold...

any opinions on a very good radio, with sat nav, single din? The wifes e class audio 10 is sooo much better than my 500 quid satnav thing, out here in the stix we have limited choice, and hills, and i enjoy R2&4 but have to constantly re tune. The wifes seems to be perfect :devil: So, sat...

I noticed, couple days now, if I switch rear screen heating, radio reception very poor. As soon as turning it off, back to normal. What could it be? Car 2003 e320cdi saloon Thanks in advance

I've just bought a1998 clk kompressor. When I got it the previous owners double din alpine stereo was in and had perfect radio reception. Unfortunately I had to give it back as it was not part of the deal so I tried to replace it with my previous stereo and also the original factory fit unit...

OK, I've read all the threads I can find, here and elsewhere, regarding poor FM reception. I have an early 05 facelift W209 (UK RHD), the FM reception isn't as good as I remember it to have been a month ago, I'm getting dropouts and the stations I listen to can't be received in areas where...

I bought a CLC350 about 14 months ago and I love the car, but the AM radio reception has been really poor since purchasing it. I bought it from Mercedes Chesterfield. I emailed them on numerous occasion about the issue but got no reply. Eventually I took the car to Mercedes Warrington who found...

I have continual problems with DAB reception cutting out especially on my daily commute along the M55, M6, M61 and M65. My previous car, Volvo XC60, and my wife's Mini Countryman had/have no such issues, this leads me to believing that it is an issue with my car and not the DAB broadcast...

Hi this has just started happening but when I switch heated window on it knocks my radio reception out. When off its fine. What can this be please? Thanks Dan

Have lost reception on the radio on our W203 COMAND (both FM and AM). Seems to have just happened, and only thing that has been done recently on the car is changing the batteries on the key fob as the distance of use were going. I mention this as I've seen topics about key fob reception...
