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

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...

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

I've had a Garmin Streetpilot 2610 for a few years - its pretty good and I use it all the time. However, if I'm driving around a city center, it quite often loses reception. This happened to me most recently in central london and I'm wondering whats the best solution! Its extremely annoying...

Is it me or is radio 2 reception crackly.I dont know if it is where aerial is situated,but in both mercs and In another marque I had out this year ,cant remember which were all the same.

Does anyone have any idea what could be causing bad FM reception in my W208 CLK cab? It's been getting worse and worse over the last few weeks, at this point I'm lucky to pick up 1-2 radio stations, but with a lot of static :mad: . Is the most likely cause the headunit itself (audio 10) or the...

Finally got my alpine MP3 head unit and MP3 changer installed but radio reception is nothing short of really bad! The unit is fine - tested in another car and worked perfect in the old A class - is the aerial not good quality in the 203 coupe? Any ideas anyone? I could only plug in the main...

Help!!! I have a new Vito 111 with an Audio 10 radio CD unit. This uses a front windscreen aerial. I have checked all connections on the back of the unit also the connections into the windscreen etc etc. I got so frustrated with poor reception that I even had my local dealer check it out...

I have a 320 CLK AMG that I have owned since my Audi A6 Quattro was assassinated by a Geriatric Rover driver last October. It is 4 years old and I love it! Problem is I have never been able to listen to the Biased Broadcasting Company on either MW or LW as there was only static available. Anyway...

Is there any way to increase the reception of MW in my car. I Have comand for W220 and the reception is very poor at times on medium wave (Five Live) Any help would be appreciated

I'm toying with the idea of upgrading my Pioneer AVIC-X1 with a DAB tuner - is DAB any good in cars at the moment - it there sufficient coverage. I listen to 5-Live most of the time and a gain in clarity over the AM signal would be great! Thanks
