reception

Afternoon all - first actual post after much lurking. EDIT: it seems I have posted before, must have been so long ago that it slipped my mind! My 2002 W203's radio (standard CD unit, Becker?) has suddenly stopped picking up MW/LW stations. FM is fine. If you scan MW/LW it scrolls through the...

My radio reception is very pony - as in - drive out of town and I just get hissing. This response was on another forum...got me thinking perhaps my ML W163 suffers from the same? -------------- "My Mitsubishi has an 'active' aerial with an amplifier, that needs 12 volts. This is normally fed...

My SatNav reception seems very erratic, varying from times when no satellite signal at all is displayed (not even a '0') to getting up to 8. This is totally independent on weather etc. as I sometimes get nothing at all on cloudless days as well as fair reception in bad weather. Usually each...

hello could anyone please advise how i could improve TV reception whilst still and moving? is there such a thing as a signal booster? Also, is there a way to connect a freeview box to the TV tuner? by the way, i have a 2005 (W211) E350 Avantgarde :rock: thanks Jandu E350

Whewre is the ariel sited in a 2003 SLK 230, I cant get very good radio reception and I wanted to check a connection

Just bought a 2003 CLK 320 Avantgarde Coupe with Comand Satnav and Bose sound. Having a problem with the radio reception: all the FM stations tune in perfectly but the sound fades in and out whilst driving and I can't tune in or locate any MW or LW stations at all. I can best describe the effect...

Hi lads just trying to get 5 line in Ireland which normally is no issue in other cars but my w210 with Audio 10 (Cassette) will not pick this up at all. Very bad reception. I know the aerial is in the rear window but have no idea what t check Any ideas Cheers Darren

Is anyone else getting bad to appalling digital reception for BBC only digital channels? For the last several weeks we’ve been getting really bad reception on all BBC channels which is ruining viewing (although it improve Eastenders!!) and means that we have to switch to analogue. However...

Are Sport Coupes known for breaks in the wiring at the hinge of the tailgate? My car has telephone pre-wire option with the stubby ariel on the top of the tailgate. Problem is, for the last 2 or 3 months my bluetooth SAP phone device has dropped calls and not received calls whilst the...

Hello all, I am looking for a radio/CD to replace the exisiting Sony that we have in the A Class and whose LW reception is awful. Can anyone recommend a set whose LW reception is of prime quality? I have been considering putting a Comand unit via Alfie but don't know if the tuner sensitivity...

http://www.caraudiocentre.co.uk/product_m-jvc-kd-db711-dfa1_p-20840.htm The more I think about it, perhaps the DAB option would be a good idea? This unit looks like the aerial is independent of the main aerial? What reckon?

I have an Audio 10 unit in my W163 ML. (sounds like a stand-up announcement at alcoholics anonymous) CDs sound ok in there. BUT the FM reception is so bad, I wondered if it's connected properly. By bad I mean, Radio 2 sometimes, the rest is just hissing. I took the unit out to check the...

I joined this forum purely to try and sort out the problem of the poor radio reception I was experiencing after fitting an aftermarket (Blaupunkt) radio. After searching this forum the consensus seemed to be the problem was either the aerial amplifier or, much more likely, the aerial plug...

I live in the East Midlands, but can now only receive West Midlands Local TV News???:crazy: I used to have two aerials: - 1. Pointing at Birmingham for West Midlands, as this was the strongest signal for all stations 1 to 5. 2. Pointing at Nottingham for East Midlands Local News. When...

Afternoon all, Recent cricketing activities occuring during my drive to work in the morning have prompted me for the first time to tune my COMAND 2.0 system to pick up Radio 4 on 198 longwave. However, reception when I'm moving is pretty awful, with it only getting better (and I use the term...

Hi, I have just bought a 2001 S600 L and have a problem I hope is easy to fix. I can get pretty good pictures on all stations on the TV tuner within the command system but no sound. The no sound reception icon shows on the screen. I have tested this in various parts of the country and...

I have recently fitted a comand unit to my W210 estate. Originally I had an audio 10 cd unit and it had much better radio reception. I have taken the aerial (DIN) plug apart and resoldered it, but this made no difference. I have checked the connections to the amp for the rear quater window...

My W202 has a really crap radio reception. I'm wondering if it's the amplifier which is tucked up behind the C pillar. Does anybody know if these things are prone to wearing out or if they can be tested. I must admit when I unplugged it there didn't seem to be much of a difference but I...

My radio doesn't have the reception i think it should, losing badly in some areas, are they all like this? have checked wiring etc. have unplugged lead off of amplifier and it makes it worse suggesting to me that everything is connected properly, could it just be the radio? cheers
